Successes in Czech

While we were in Strakonice I visited a shop that sells thermal clothing. I looked around, spoke briefly to the sales woman and then went to leave. On the way out I picked up a catalogue in German and English. The sales woman told me that I couldn't take it as it was only for foreigners. I like it when I get mistaken for Czechs! Actually if she had talked longer with me she would have known...

Another Czech language success happened to Almut and I when we were at a restaurant. We sat down and were given menus in English and German. We were surprised not to get a Czech menu, but thought nothing of it. When the waitress came to take our order we started to order in Czech. She got all embarrassed and started to apologise because she had assumed that we were foreigners and now it seemed that we were Czech! Almut then sorted it out.
