I'm moving to Brno in September for a year, and wondered how anyone who has moved there is getting on.. I dont speak Czech (yet :shock: ) but will have to learn. I already speak fairly fluent french. I'm a fine art student in Leeds, UK and doing a study abroad year at the uni-tech of Brno, so am on the lookout for housemates..! Is anyone doing the same/similar? any advice?! That's me in a nutshell! love from Kirstie x
hi, i am also doing a study abroad next fall in Cr though i will be in prague. i just thought i would say hi and welcome! i wish i had advice for you. i too don't speak czech yet but i have no clue how bruno will be compared to prague. good luck!
Thanks Julz - nice to meet you! I dont suppose you are doing an EILC course in September are you? its like an intensive language course, and Ive applied to one in Prague so that I can spend some time there before moving to Brno.. My friend is doing the same as I, so we're going to explore the land! Hey good luck with everything, its a bit daunting, and I cant actually beleive that im going. It doesnt seem real yet - Brno is actually twinned with Leeds where i live in the UK, and ive met the art tutors I'll be learning with, so im really lucky - Ive been told not to learn czech, as everyone speaks English, but im going to try to anyway. Take it easy, hey ta for replying! Kirstie x
Just learn the language, believe me, you will need it. Most the time you will not understand the "Czech English". :lol:
Dude, ta, I really needed to hear that, it'll really spur me on. I take it you have experienced the difficulties! I do speak French fairly fluently, and I've heard that some people do speak French... (shrug) I'll just wait and see i guess! :?
