Links to Online Resources on Czech
The purpose of this collection of links is very specific. They have the language learner and student of Czech culture in mind. Some of them require a certain level of Czech from beginner to advanced, although many contain information in English. The sites listed are from all around the world but most of them come from the Czech Republic, USA, and the UK. Because of the interest a section of links relevant for tourists and expatriates living in Prague has also been added. The links are sorted in alphabetical order.
