Czech Facts
Czech is regulated by the Czech Language Institute
Some words in Czech appear not to have any vowels, such as 'zmrzl' ('frozen solid'), resulting in some teething problems for native speakers of other languages wishing to learn
Czech is spoken by most people in the Czech Republic, although its form is very similar to Slovak, meaning that most adult Czechs and Slovaks are able to understand each other

Oxford
A university city in central England, Oxford has a population of around 135,000 and is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Coined as "the city of dreaming spires", the city has many major tourist attractions, many found in the numerous colleges of the university. Oxford developed much as a result of early 20th century innovations, especially the printing press and the automobile. Unsurprisingly one of the main bywords of Oxford is its penchant for encouraging an excellent education, as it features many of the country's highly academic secondary schools, as well as the university itself.
