I am going to be in the Czech Republic for four months this fall.. where is the best place to start learning the Czech language.. I have looked at locallingo.com and found it helpful.. what about any books?
I would recomemend David Short's "Teach Yourself Czech". I have found it to be much more helpfull and interesting than some older Czech books (plus more up to date, obviously). You should have no trouble finding it at your local library. If not, you can always order it off of the internet. -Lenny
