Moving to Czech Republic

>it's really necessary that I learn Czech

Yep. Definitely

Depends what city, I lived in Pardubice & Prague (4 years total) and only learned about 50 words.

You can survive without learning Czech, but then you can't expect to establish social contacts beyond the expat bubble in Prague.

> People who don't speak English
> Worth talking to

Everyone under 30 speaks at least some English, you can pick up enough Czech in a week to get by. Prague in particular is FULL of people from all around the world.

Find someone with good English and let him show you the ropes.
Seriously.
20% of population can actually hold a conversation in English. ON PAPER. This just counts people who graduated HS with English as their second language, and from my experience, that's not exactly indicative of their language proficiency.

Prague is not Czech though

You are overly optimistic. It's surprisingly bad.

I lived there for a long time, and yeah a lot of people had shit English but it was enough.

The only struggle would be paperwork (registering with police, get a bank account etc). But they let HR sort that out for me. My landlord even translated my rent contract into English.

I suppose I was lucky though, because the girls I dated were also super helpful.

IMO, I could never keep a long term relationship with a girl who doesn't speak 7/10+ English, because too much gets lost in translation.

No some people speak a bit of Deutsch too.
