Best way to learn Czech? Balancing cost and effectiveness?

[clmcduffee]

I'm curious about the language learning opportunities in Prague. We are English/French/Lithuanian/Russian speakers relocating from the US looking for a cost effective way to learn the language while settling into a new job in Prague (which can be done in English, but would ideally be done in Czech). Any suggestions?

Well, what is cost effective for you?
There in Prague are many opportunities.

1) You can buy textbooks and learn by yourself,
2) or there are language school for foreigners (I'm not 100% sure, but I think some of them have got evening courses).
3) And there are many natives, who are fluent in english and teach czech for reasonable price (check internet).
4)And at least look for video lessons on youtube

Thank you for your replies!

We are interested in a class setting where we can meet other students. I think option #2 is probably the one we are looking for. Are there perhaps public courses offered for those who are moving into Czechia? Perhaps offered by the state for new immigrants? Thanks for any further thoughts!
