I do have a credit card. Maybe I'll see if I can get an American Express card, preferably one with a chip... but I don't know if they can get it to me in less than 1 month.
I've heard that ATMs have the lowest exchange rates. Is that true? I don't particularly care, but my company might question it.

It will definitly be cheaper to get your cash from an ATM without a doubt. But if you need to exchange Euros for another currency when you get to the Czech Republic you'll have to go to a bank that exchanges currency. There's one called Forex Bank that does nothing but exchange currency and they're all over Europe.
I have friends from Poland and they all speak amazing English, some with a thick accent but their English is good. The Czech Republic (especially Prague) had a booming tourist industry so it's helpful for shop owners and other people who might come into contact win tourists to speak English. Most Europeans learn English as a second language from an early age and can speak at least some English, especially in big cities.
