| Nov 21, 2016 at 13:48 | comment | added | motoDrizzt | @MorellaAlmånd always do it, not just for Prague! It will make a huge difference in any trip! And not as many people think because you need it to read signs and such (in any given touristic place everything will be translated in English) but because it will make locals feel you care and you respect them and their culture, and they will threat you much much better. You don't need to master the language, just being able to say good morning, thank you, please, bye...it will make a huge difference in the way you will be threated. | |
| Nov 21, 2016 at 13:36 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | @MorellaAlmånd Depends on what you're wanting to do - it's very easy to do all the "tourist stuff" in Prague with only English and most educated younger people speak good English; if you're going beyond that at all, as usual, the more you learn the better. | |
