Why Wait Months for What You Can Manage in 14 Days?

Do you feel like you've been learning Czech for an eternity, but when push comes to shove (or ordering a beer), you suddenly remain tight-lipped? Then maybe one of our intensive czech courses at Czech Language Training would suit you.

Engaging and Interactive Learning

The second day of the intensive course at our school, Czech Language Training. I divided my eight students into pairs. One of the partners is blindfolded and listens to the instructions of their sparring colleague. "Left, right, forward, backward." We are loud, and I try to make my students quieter so they don't disturb the students in the other classes.

They are supposed to reach an empty classroom where a reward awaits them in the form of a short video, but two pairs randomly walk all the way into the office where the school director himself is sitting. The small exercise ends, and the group, which has forever devoted itself to Czech, returns to their desks. If they were introverts, of course, I would choose a different drill.

Real-Life Scenarios: Practical Czech

I always prepare the three-hour lesson so that no one gets bored or tired, and grammatical torture alternates with videos, the "wheel of fortune" application in Wordwall, playful tasks, or perhaps practicing various daily situations that students studying czech for foreigners may encounter when communicating with locals.

Everyone wants to know how to order a beer, but what if they bring you Svijany instead of Kozel? What when that charming Dutchman, who is learning Czech because of his fiancée, visits his mother-in-law and father-in-law in Moravia, and will have to announce to them at a table full of venison sausages that he is a vegetarian? And that Swiss student, whose Czech uncle taps him on the shoulder every morning with the words "čau ty vole", what is he supposed to answer to his relative?

An Adventurous Journey

The student from Turkey, who was brought to me when she was on her second day in the Czech Republic and didn't know a single word of Czech, now makes herself understood in common situations and wants to study psychology at Charles University in half a year.

Czech is not easy, but it is an adventurous journey during which you make friends. Dealing with authorities, partners, employers, and colleagues. That is what brave people do—meaning those who immerse themselves in the lessons fully and are not satisfied with the fact that they speak English and that it is actually enough for them to stay here.

We don't waste as much time repeating as during standard lessons, which we organize twice a week, because already captured by Czech, every day for three hours we all move boldly forward.
