Czech language Czech language rank among Slavonic languages and it’s very difficult. We have to use declension and conjugation and a lot of other things. The biggest problem is i and y for us, because for example pil means drank and pyl means pollen. Czech has got some original letters like ž, š, č, ř, ď, ť, ň. We use more words than other languages and some of those words are really similar. Our class hasn’t got very nice grades from our mother language.
