Many live for years or even decades without being able to do much more than order in a restaurant. This has all kinds of consequences for the integration (or lack thereof) of foreigners into Czech life and society, but perhaps nowhere is this felt more keenly than with expat women who have children in the Czech Republic. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/dite_matka_internet.jpg?timestamp=1718870072 https://english.radio.cz/being-expat-mum-czech-republic-can-be-a-struggle-8740087 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
