Adventures in Prague
View of Prague from the castle First time in Prague! Many Czech people seem to have a rivalry between Brno and Prague- which is better, which has better things to do/food/people etc. But they are very different places as far as I can tell. For me, I think of Prague like London and Brno like … Continue reading Adventures in Prague

The month review
Made it, one month in, so let's see how we're doing... It's been an interesting month of highs and lows, conditionals and articles. But finally got into a teaching rhythm and sussed out my students.

Cheese and the multilingual problem
So this is something I've been wanting to write about since arriving in the Czech republic, as a non-Czech speaker in a small city it can be very hard to communicate with people, as English is not as prevalent here as say Prague.

Day 4&5: Are we there yet?
The view from the English department in Otrokovice I thought I'd group the last two days together as it is pretty similar to the other days I've had. All in all the week has been quite an experience, a little overwhelming to say the least but enjoyable and I hope I can be helpful in … Continue reading Day 4&5: Are we there yet?
