I think it would be better if I learnt some of this language to help a family near me.... :)

Does anyone want to help me translate some English text into Czech in the mean time!

Am willing to perhaps copy something for you in return, or help find something that you might need!

I had a friend from Czechoslovakia when there was such a country. . .she lived in Switzerland when I knew her though, and I think she still lives there.

And as far as I got to Czech was learning the Russian alphabet, so really not that close. Hope you find a translator. Let me know if you need something translated into English from the American. I’m fairly fluent, and what I wouldn’t know I’m sure I could stumble my way through you’d need. ;)

I have studied German here in Vienna with people from Czech Rep and Slovakia.. I know their languages are similar because they were speaking to eachother in their language and had no problems understanding... even with Polish wasn’t that big of a problem. As far as I could see, they didn’t write cirilic..

This is proving to be a nightmare.... part of me thinks I should not have bothered, but the better part of me thinks no, your doing right and they need help so help them!
All I need is someone to tell them what information we need in Czech for them to understand!

No for sure they don’t write cirilic, neither us Poles nor Czech or Slovak! :) And yes our languages are very similiar, we don’t have much problems to communicate and understand each other :)

I’m from Croatia and Czech language is similar too Croatian coz they are both slavic, but still not to similar that I can understand them. I’ve been to Pargue few years ago, and even I recognized some words here and there, I had troubles to understand. No they don’t write a cirilic neither we do.

I’m pretty sure the official language is “Czech”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_language
