It's not an easy language to learn, but I know people who have done it. In the long run you'll save 50K in tuition fees.
First of all, it's $16,690 (11500 Euros). I wouldn't really recommend learning the language unless you want to settle in this country. I would also like to mention that czech is not the easiest languages to learn (in fact, it's the 4 hardest european language most similar to polish in it's difficulty). Secondly, if you want to return back to the US/UK/Canada, you would have to prepare for their respective board exams which will not be that easy (as you would have to re-learn everything in english). So it sort of saves time.

And about the student loans, I found out that the UK government doesn't fund any student loans for students wanting to study abroad. Although it is possible to find these loans privately. You might want to check out this link and try to see if you fit into any of the criteria:
