As the author, I lived in various cities in the Czech Republic for over two years, and am fluent in the Czech language. During my stay, I ardently studied the language, and spoke with Czechs for hours a day in different volunteer capacities. Finding the existing Czech language books to be inadequate, I sought to write a guide to speaking Czech that was both easy to understand and to the point. This book is written by a native English speaker for English speakers. Paired with a good dictionary and lots of speaking, this guide will surely teach you all you need to know to become fluent.
