Everybody can remember this:
You go abroad on your vacation. You go out of a hotel dreaming about buying some souvenirs, but when you finaly reached a shop you can say nothing except "does anybody here speak english??!!"
So I'm going to travel to Czech Republic and now I must learn by heart some phrases, that can help me at my first-time conversations with citizens of the CR.
They are:
— Mluvíte anglicky? / Do you speak english?
— Je tady někdo kdo mluví anglicky? / Is there anybody here, speaking english?
— Rozuměl(a) jste? / Have you understood it?
— Rozuměl(a) jsem / I've understood it
— To jsem nerozuměl(a) / I haven't understood it.
— Mohl(a) byste mluvit trochu pomaleji, prosím? / Can you speak slowly, please?
— Mohl(a) byste to zopakovat prosím? / Can you repeat it, please?
— Jak se to řekne česky? / How to say it in Czech?
— Co znamená "…" ? / What does "…" mean?
— Mohl(a) byste mi to napsat prosím? / Can you write it for me?
