Learning Czech

This is hurting my head. I have started in earnest to learn Czech. I lived in Vienna for a while and took German classes, I did not find it easy, however it did seem possible and I did start to understand what people were say and I could speak a little.

But Czech - big sigh, hang head...

Nothing makes me feel so stupid as learning another language. In general in life I find most things fairly easy. But with repetitive stuff that I have to do over and over again, well I just want to leave.

We have post-it note on things around the house, I am a child.

Just Back from Prague

Spent the weekend in Prague and back here in Ireland for about ten days now - and still don't feel like I have got back into a routine yet.

The weekend was busy, as it always is, any time we head to the Czech Republic. Thursday landed late, Friday hotels problem - ah the idea of service in many Czech Hotels is fairly amusing until you have to deal with it. But that is for another day.

Then my first Czech wedding - my god they go on all day. Sunday the mother in law to be gave me a learning Czech book, hmmm....

Monday back on the plane...

And working too much since I got back.

Prague Here I Come, for a few days...

So here I am stuck in Dublin Airport as he flight is delayed for two hours. It doesn’t happen often thank god, but airports are fairly boring places.

However Aerlingus gave us vouchers for food - good… And I get to sit here in Starbucks and chill for a few hours - still it is hard to get passed the bordom. So here I am writing and hoping that no-one reaaly reads this.

Walking in Europe is a new site that I am developing, and much to my surprise it still hasn’t been indexed by the big G after a month - I should really have put a bit more effort into that, so hopefully this post will help the big G find it at last.

Dublin Airport is fairly horrible, in a few hours we will be in Prague - and what a difference there is in the airport. Prague is just so … clean, not so packed, much easier to be in - also I can still smoke there. Yeah one day I might get around to not doing that anymore.

So hope some of this made some sense - I have only had one xanex so far - yeah hate flying also…

Have a good weekend.

Moving to Prague

So we made the decision last week to move back to Prague. I am Scottish, the other half is Czceh and we lived together there for six months before moving to Ireland - we have been here for the last two years now.

I found this site while looking at Moveable Type for my own personal blog and I thought I would give it a go for this subject only - Our Move to Prague.

At first I was exicited and now I am thinking - oh my god what am I doing - I don't speak Czech - the lessons will start in Sep after out last big holiday before the move. Now I work mostly on the internet so that part is flexible - lets give it a bash and see what happens.

So this blog is somewhere away from the crowd to post about all the problems and issues I will run into getting ready to move and the moving itself.
