Although Czech and Slovak are very similar, they are two different languages. Most of the young people speak English, and some of the older ones speak German. It is always a wise idea to learn some words in Slovak, for instance:
- Hello = Dobry den
- Yes/no = Ano/Nie
- Please = Prosim
- I don’t understand = Nerozumiem
- How much is it? = Coto Stoji?
