Hi everybody!! I'm thinking on going to one of these countries to work next summer. I would like to speak to people from these countries in order to make them some questions. For instance, I only speak English, and Spanish, of course, and I wonder if people speak English in these countries or not. And I also have lots of questions, so I would like to speak with someone from one of these countries. Remember: Chec Republic, Poland or Hungary.

Bye!!

Hi. I went to Czech Republic three months ago. At that time, I was staying at one of my Czech friend's house with her family. I had a great time with them however I was in Czech only for two weeks. In Czech Republic, alot of them speak English and they helped me when I had a problem. I guess most of Europeans speak English so well. I'm a Japanese who majors in English at my university but certainly, Japanese don't speak English well although they study English since Jr.high school. It may be difficult for Japanese to learn conversational Japaese because Japan is an island so there are not alot of foreigners here unless its big cities. Sometimes I wonder why Europeans speak such a good English. Do you how how well Belgians speak English? I think you should visit Belgium. They speak English fluently and they speak three other languages such as Dutch, German and French because Belgium is divided into three parts. One is Flemish speaking part which is a dialect of Dutch. Other one is French speaking part and the other one is German speaking part. Belgians are really smart. In Czech Republic, alot of people speak German. I don't know why but my Czech friends study German. I think it's good for you to see the country, Czech Republic by yourself.
