Great.
I can't pronounce even the most basic of words here apart from ano and ne. Which might not get me too far at the local village shop, let alone round Prague on a bus.
:-) Frannie will have to give R and me lessons before we venture forth from the Mill.
PS I vow hereby to my readers I won't be one of those poncy people who travel somewhere once and for the rest of their lives pronounce place names like the locals. So it'll be Prague, not Praha on here. I dated a man once (literally, one date) who among other annoying things like reading me Spanish poetry (hello! I don't speak Spanish) insisted on telling me of his many far-flung travels and it was Roma this, Porto that and Paree the other. An. Noy. Ing.
