How Hard Is It to Learn Czech?

Consonants Make Czech Pronunciation a Challenge

There is one more issue we need to cover when talking about learning Czech – and that’s pronunciation. While there is always an internal logic in the way languages use grammar which makes mastering it easier, pronunciation is a different matter. Contorting your tongue into shapes it’s not used to can be a struggle. And Czech does certainly present a challenge in that area. From its notorious consonant clusters to the dreaded ř sound, Czech does tend to frighten many from speaking it.
