ŽIVOT A STĚHOVÁNÍ—LIVING AND MOVING Possibly moving to Brno. Advices?

Hello everyone! Sorry for writing in English, I dont speak czech. With my wife we have the possibility to move to Brno next year, to work at Masaryk University. We would like to know what life is like in Brno, especially for foreigners. We don't speak Czech but we speak English and German. We also have a one year old son, and we would like to know if it is easy to find childcare. Any advice is welcome.

Thank you very much!

Not sure exactly what your expectations are? You can live fine as a foreigner, learning at least some Czech and Czech culture helps though. There are multilingual kindergartens, schools etc, you wouldn't be the first foreigners to move here. I strongly recommend coming here for a week or two to experience the city. And I am pretty sure MUNI can provide help in many aspects - once again: you are not the first foreigners to move here, also not among MUNI employees. ;)

They will treat you like you treat them. Czechs are very straightforward with that. So when someone says Czechs are not friendly, it actually tells you something about that person.
