TEFL TESOL certificate course in Prague

Prague

Prague, is situated on the River Vltava in the very heart of Europe. It is an incredibly beautiful city with a wealth of architecture, ranging from Gothic churches and Baroque palaces to Art Nouveau cafés and Cubist villas.

Prague which has survived wars and revolutions almost unscathed, has a medieval centre of winding cobblestone streets through which you can wander and discover palaces, churches, museums, bridges, squares and backstreet pubs.

There is a wide variety of cultural and sporting attractions in Prague, all of which is available on a limited budget. The city is famous for its music and art. Concert halls stand cheek by jowl with jazz clubs, art galleries with museums and theatres with cinemas. Ice-hockey and football are the most popular sports across the country The beer is world famous and world class. Eating out can be managed at quite reasonable prices (even in the centre). Pubs are the best bet for affordable food, which, if a little unadventurous being of the meat and dumplings type, is good, filling and cheap. An increasing number of restaurants have vegetarian meals on the menu, and there are a number of restaurants which cater solely for vegetarians.

Travelling within the republic is inexpensive and easily managed. The rolling countryside of Bohemia is studded with well-preserved medieval towns, and there are a number of fascinating places to visit within easy reach of the capital including the medieval towns of Kutná Hora, Tábor, Karlštejn and Český Krumlov. Also the unspoilt countryside provides for quality skiing in the winter and walking in the spring and summer.

The Czechs are very friendly and hospitable people, if a little reserved. Czech, however, is not an easy language, a simple survival vocabulary of everyday Czech will get the learner through most situations and your effort to communicate in the local language will be greatly appreciated.
