Third culture children are relatively a new research topic in the Czech Republic. This qualitative study pursues children, whose native languages are Czech and English, and each of their parent is from different cultural backround. Their children attend primary schools in the Czech Republic, often encounter different problems in preparing for school education than their monocultural peers. In the methodological part, attermpts are made to identify these problems, together with the reasons why these families live in the Czech Republic, although it is not always easy for their children.

Dzieci trzeciej kultury są stosunkowo nowym podmiotem badań w Republice Czeskiej. Niniejsze badania jakościowe obejmują dzieci, których językami ojczystymi są czeski i angielski, a każdy z rodziców ma inne zaplecze kulturowe. Ich dzieci uczęszczające do szkół podstawowych w Republice Czeskiej muszą często pokonać innego rodzaju problemy dotyczące przygotowania się do nauki szkolnej niż ich jednokulturowi rówieśnicy. W części metodologicznej staram się zidentyfikować te problemy oraz powody zamieszkania tego typu rodzin mieszanych w Republice Czeskiej, mimo że nie zawsze jest to dla ich dzieci łatwe.
