Hi,
I am doing a TEFL course currently in London and looking to move to Prague when i've finished.
could anyone give me some information on where to live? how easy it is to get a job, meet people and is it very lonely as I don't speak any Czech and I don't know anyone in Prague!

Rachael.

Hey Rachael, here are some answers to your questions

Its easy to get a job, even in the "gloabl crisis" at least for now. Meeting people is also pretty easy as the expat community is alive and well.

I recommend enrolling in a czech class as soon as you get here, a little czech goes a long way to making friends and making your czech experience more enjoyable.

thanks Troy, is Czech very hard to learn? can you reccomend any schools that teach it to English speakers?

It is NOT going to be easy to find a job here much longer, Troy. Companies are laying off workers here (particularly foreign based companies). Before they lay off their own people, they are cutting back on benefits such as language lessons for employees.

The idea that anyone can take a 3-4 week TEFL course and get a job in Prague has gone down with the stock market. There are other areas, like Asia, that are far better at this point, in terms of money and job availability.
