What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Brno. They wrote...
"Expats in Brnoublic often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Czech is a Slavic language and can be difficult to learn, especially for those who are used to Roman languages. Another challenge is the reserved nature of the Czech people. They are known to be polite and respectful, but they can also be quite private and reserved, which can make it difficult for expats to form close relationships. The bureaucracy in the Czech Republic can also be a challenge for expats. Dealing with government offices and paperwork can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially for those who are not fluent in Czech. The Czech Republic has a very distinct culture and traditions, which can be difficult for expats to understand and adapt to. This includes everything from social norms and etiquette, to food and drink, to holidays and celebrations. Lastly, the weather can also be a challenge for some expats, especially those from warmer climates. The winters in Brno can be quite cold and long, and the city does not get as much sunshine as some other parts of Europe," explained one expat living in Brno, Czechia.
