This is another interview of the series I recorded in England. This time it features my good friend Franta. Franta, a former radio Dj and football player in the Czech Republic, describes his fascinating experiences of moving over to London and later to Brighton ultimately becoming a hotel manager in the latter city. Since when he first came to the UK, he had zero English and worked as a kitchen porter, his story, which is full of hard-work, skill and positive attitude is worthy of respect. The whole interview is awash with motivating words and tips on how to go about coming out of one's comfort zone and learning a foreign language. Franta's success story, which I had a chance (about 8 years ago) to observe myself firsthand since our paths crossed in London back in the days, still serves as a my huge inspiration.
