It's worth learning as much Czech as you are able to, but you would be fine managing on your own for a few months, especially if you can befriend a local who can help you get on your feet when you arrive (tips on currency conversion, places to eat, places to avoid, setting up a transit pass, etc.)
Life in Prague if you're coming to visit is quite great. I love every minute of the almost two years I was able to spend there and around the Czech and Slovak republics.
