The language
Speaking Czech is not easy but the language is surprisingly logical, everything is spoken pretty much as it is written. Therefore once you've learned some basic pronunciation rules, you should have a pretty good idea of how a word sounds.
c = 'ts' as in cats, even at the begining
č = 'ch' as in chin
ch = soft as in the Scottish word, loch
j = 'y' as in yellow
r = a rolled R sound similar to the Spanish
ř = a rol plus a soft Z sound
š = 'sh' as in shoe
w = 'v'
ž = soft Z sound (zh, as in pleasure
