  Teaching English in
the Czech Republic
 
 
The independent Czech Republic blends the Bohemian spirit with historic architecture,
colorful markets, world-renowned breweries, and soaring mountain ranges.
 
The Czech Republic lived under communism for almost half a century, but has been growing in leaps and bounds in the two decades since it became a free market economy. Unemployment is down, tourism is up, and in 2004 the country was accepted as a member of the European Union.

As the country modernizes, its demand for English teachers is increasing. Students in the Czech Republic are usually adults learning English for professional reasons, or children and teenagers studying the language as a required part of their education. Most teaching positions in the Czech Republic are found in the lively capital of Prague, though public transportation makes it easy to explore the distinct regions of the rest of the country. With the low cost of living in the Czech Republic, you can usually live comfortably on a typical TEFL teacher's salary.

Czech Republic Overview
A small country in terms of square miles, the Czech Republic is vast when measured in natural beauty, cultural character and historical heritage. Among the youngest of countries in Europe, the Czech Republic broke its nearly 75-year union with the Slovak Republic in January of 1993. The independent country is comprised of two regions—Bohemia and Moravia. Bohemia is a plateau encircled by majetic mountains, while Moravia is primarily rolling hills and lowlands, located to the east.

For centuries, Czech land has been a major crossroad for the Europeans, and the newly formed republic still echoes with rich history. The vibrant capital, Prague, boasts a cosmopolitan atmosphere that blends German, Jewish and Czech influences amid dramatic, historical architecture. The city is flavored by world-famous Pilsner and traditional fare such as pork, dumplings, and cabbage. For ventures outside the metropolis, visitors can explore the ancient villages of Moravia, colorful markets, or soaring mountains of the countryside.
 
 
 
 
 
Megan Palmer
Teaching in Prague, Czech Republic
 
  "I teach in a small language school here in Prague where I teach eager students who are excited to have a native English speaking teacher. I also teach kids twice a week and feel this to be the most rewarding job I have ever had. Teaching English is exciting, gratifying, interesting, and fun.

Living in Prague means I get to travel on the weekends for very cheap. Since I have moved here, I have traveled to Vienna, Budapest, Paris, Madrid, Seville, Munich, Amsterdam, Bratislava, and Warsaw. The independence, confidence and insight I have gained has been tremendous. The best thing I have ever done for myself has been my adventurous move to the Czech Republic."

Its climate is transitional between the milder and wetter conditions of Atlantic Europe and the more extreme conditions of the Russian Federation. The Czech Republic has cool summers with cold, cloudy, and humid winters. The nation receives more sunshine than Western Europe, with an average of eight hours per day. Spring and summer have the highest rainfall—yet summers are moderately warm amid sporadic showers. There is little difference in climate from one region to the next, and weather can be changeable year-round.
