Polish, together with Czech, Slovak, Kashubian, Upper and Lower Sorbian, and the now extinct Polabian, is part of the West Slavic language group, which in turn is part of the Indo-European language family.
Roughly 50 million people worldwide use it regularly, and a further 10 million+ can at least understand it. It is the second most spoken Slavic language.
Slovak is the official language of our neighbors and one of the languages of the European Union. It is spoken by roughly 7 million people worldwide.

Read moreIt’s almost unbelievable how many foreign languages we can translate.

Read moreThis morning we had a bit of fun in the office. We had a read through some blogs written by people who’ve visited the Czech Republic, about what they thought about us Czechs. Some of the things they mentioned were quite funny, but if we’re being honest it’s probably best if you don’t bring them […]
Read moreCroatia has to be the favourite seaside holiday destination for Czechs. As soon as the school year ends, you’ll see bus/carloads of Czech tourists heading south, socks and sandals at the ready (just kidding, we’re not all that bad!).

Read moreEarlier in the week we told you a bit about the history of Czechoslovakia and promised you an article on our languages. Even though we’re no longer one country, one of the reasons we’ve still got such a strong bond is thanks to our two languages. How similar are Czech and Slovak? Czech and Slovak […]
