文化的背景
Czechs are very proud of their language. Even a small effort to say 'Hovořím česky' is seen as a sign of respect and will often result in better service and friendlier interactions. In Prague, many people speak English, but using Czech helps you stand out from the tourists. It signals that you are an 'expat' who lives there, not just a visitor. In the Moravian region (Brno, Olomouc), people may have a slightly different accent, but the formal 'Hovořím česky' remains the standard for polite introductions. In Czech literature and formal speeches, 'hovořit' is used to denote a serious discussion. It carries more weight than the everyday 'mluvit'.
Drop the 'Já'
Native speakers almost never say 'Já hovořím'. Dropping the pronoun makes you sound much more natural.
The 'ř' Trap
Don't stress too much about the 'ř' in 'hovořím'. If you pronounce it as a normal 'r', people will still understand you.

Modesty is Key
