When 'no' means 'yes', and other language problems for Czechs.
It took me about 6-½ months to get used to saying “no” when I meant yes. You see, in Czech, “yes” is “ano”. Shortened in informal situations to either “no” or “jo” (yo).It took a few days of ordering more coffees and beers than I wanted to get my “no’s” straight!
