Since English is only taught for about ten years in Czech schools, communication with older people is really hard.
But with hands and feet and a few basic Czech sentences, you'll come a long way.
The students' and professors' English is, considering, pretty good.

If you are not familiar/ have had no exposure to with Slavic Languages prepare for a some huge culture shock. Most of the admin here spoke English, and most Czech students were willing to jump in and help if they saw you struggling.

It was a challenge to buy a metro ticket but in the city many young people speak English and older people sometimes know German. But it is still hard to get in contact with Czech people because of the language barrier.

No problem at all to communicate with all students as English is the international language.
But it was more difficult with the local people who can hardly speak a word of English.

Czech is a nice but difficult language. After one semester studying it one feels at ease in every day life, but forget about a conversation.
