The list of links below is not intended to give full information about Czech and Slovak
resources on the Internet. That is beyond my limited knowledge and abilities.Instead, I hope to be able to help those taking their
first steps along the road by suggesting sites which may act as gateways to the
information they require, with particular reference to non-native speakers of Czech and
Slovak, and those based in the UK. Plus, of course, those sites relating to my own
peculiar interests!
