Q. Do I need to speak Czech in order to teach English in the Czech Republic?

Category: Europe » Czech Republic » Teaching in the Czech Republic

A. Answer:

No, not at all. Employers will want you to create an English-speaking atmosphere in your classes, so you won’t be expected to speak Czech in a work context. However, you might want to learn a few key phrases to help you in your day-to-day life in-country. And, if you’re interested in learning Czech, teaching in the Czech Republic is a great way to do it, as you can easily arrange Czech lessons and you’ll be immersed in the language on a daily basis. In fact, some employers will even include Czech lessons as part of your contract.
