Group classes are ideal for those who have limited time during the week to attend language courses.
Czech Courses offers courses ranging from A1, designed for new beginners, to B2, targeted for those with advanced experience with the Czech language.

The course uses a flexible approach in which a teacher can vary their principals based on the group's needs.

"The program was efficient."

Emmanuelle Dietrich, student from France

I was put in a level slightly higher than what I applied to and it was easy to catch up. Being in small groups helped not being lost and the teacher could make sure everyone was following. I saw immediate progress.
I didn't see activities though. Only minus point: the price of the books which are obligatory.

"Excellent teaching and resources, great locations"

Todd Van Fossen, student from USA

Overall, I had a positive experience with Czech Courses during the Summer of 2023.

The teaching staff is excellent, and resources and support are readily available from the office. Location is also a major benefit, as I took classes in Vinohrady and there was a convenient tram stop right outside the front door of the school. It is easily accessible from any place in Prague.

The cost of the courses is also quite reasonable for what you receive. If you are prepared to engage, attend every class, participate, and keep up with homework assignments, you will find this to be a very good investment in becoming conversational with Czech and also learning more about the culture and experiences available in Prague.

My only concern relates to how students are placed in classes. From my experience, there were students in the class who were clearly beyond the level of instruction, and some of them said they had already passed more advanced government language exams for visa and residency requirements. This can be problematic for students who are newer to the language and at the low end for skills in the level of class in which they are placed. In my case, it also seemed to result in the teacher speaking more rapidly and at a more fluent level than some students (including myself) were able to process effectively. One area of improvement for the school could therefore be to offer courses such as "new intermediate" and "review intermediate" so that students within the same classes are more closely aligned in terms of their language skills and capabilities.

In general, however, I highly recommend Czech Courses to anyone who wants an intensive and very applicable way of immersing themselves into the language. I found myself speaking Czech in shops and around the city soon after I started the course, so it is very practical as well as challenging.

"Very useful and pleasant"

Federica Del Deo, student from Italy

I would have chosen a bigger classroom and there were a couple of people whose Czech level was a little worse, but overall the course was well structured and the Teacher Julie was always sweet and ready to help us

"A wonderful time in Prague."

Yi Yin Liu, student from Singapore

I’ve been there for 2 months, and learned a lot. Teachers are very friendly. Especially Martina, she’s so patient and kind. The way we learned was by playing games which was relaxing and exciting. And you can also have a lot of chances to practice the speaking skill.
Thank you Czech Courses :)
