except adršpach isn't in the bohemian paradise. there are other rock cities in there (prachovské skály, hrubá skála etc.) but adršpach is close to the border with poland

>The č is ts, not ch,
"ch" is the closest sound to "č" in English. (like in the word "check")
"ts" is usually how you'd transcribe Czech "c".
It's not that difficult to pronounce "adršpašskoteplické", I just did it fairly easily.
(and I don't know anyone who calls it that, it's called either Adršpach, or Český ráj.)

It's not that hard, you just go letter by letter and sound it out. I get the impression that anglophones are oddly bad at doing this, probably because English has stupidly irregular spelling rules and is frankly a crime against the latin alphabet.
Adr like the beginning of "address", but pronouncing the "a" as it is in languages that aren't English ("ah")
špaš = shpash. Kinda like "splash", but starts with another "sh", without "l" (thus actually simpler?) and again, "a" like a proper Roman
The rest should be straightforward. "c" makes a "ts" sound and the ´s make the vowel longer.

To be fair, I live in CZ and this one is very hard to say.

The č is ts, not ch, but I'm not sure if that's any better! Crazy name even by Czech standards haha
Edit: meant to say c, not č

You separate them into own syllables so they're not really together when you're pronouncing them. Croatian does the same thing, for example "najgori" (the worst) has "jg" together, but when pronouncing, you'd say naj-gori, not na-jg-ori.
I can pronounce this now, like:
Adr-špaš-skote-plicke.

It’s not their way of life, it’s just a leftover utility that used to make sense but doesn’t anymore, and they’re too proud or stubborn to deal with it.
If your entire argument hinges on pointing at other bad things to make yourself look less bad in comparison, you need a new argument.

They used to herd the pods in wooden paddle boats over 100 years ago trying to go to another part of the world and trying to change their way of life is like someone going to your house and changing the way you live they only do it like once every 5-10 years and none of the food is wasted and is frozen and spread out between all the people on the island. What do you think happens to the food you buy at the grocery store? You think chicken beef pork and all the other fish are read bed time stories then magically end up in small packets of meat? Go check out how slaughter houses work much much worst and inhumane.

Those are different ones. These are about 100km to the east from Elbe on Polish border.

Sorry, you're right about that-- I was referring to c, not č, since c is what is written in the original post, but for some reason I wrote č here which is indeed ch. (Nicely confusing since "ch" in Czech is gutteral!) Is it actually čke at the end of the word?
Ahoj :)
