"Students feel it's useless to learn to speak Chinese, so they don't work very hard at conversation. They only do all right at reading," said Wang Ju-chen, who married Jaromir Vochalova in Peking thirty years ago and has taught at the University of Prague since following her husband back to Czechoslovakia. There are only about 30 students in the Chinese department now.
「學生覺得學說中國話沒有用，所以會話課不很用心，只有閱讀還可以」，卅年前與吳和在北平同學，和他結婚後隨著回捷克定居、同時也在查理大學教書的王如珍表示，現在查理大學的漢學學生大概只有卅名左右，倒是在法學院以及經濟大學，還開了中文課，培養貿易人才。
