Czech for Foreigners – Course II. – A1/A2 POST-BEGINNERS

We often find that many people are in the position of having been in the Czech Republic for a number of months or years, that they have tried to study, picked up a few words and phrases but do not feel able to use their Czech or develop it further. Our courses are structured to steadily introduce new grammatical structures, and practice those that are already familiar, so that they may be useful on a daily basis. Our teachers structure the lessons to the needs of given students, advise on particular situations the students encounter in their work and social lives, and develop language skills that can be used always in real world situations. The grammar of the Czech language is broken down into manageable pieces so that even students who have struggled with the language for years find that they are soon building sentences and using the language day after day.

Czech for Foreigners – Course III. – PRE-INTERMEDIATE

So, you’re now regularly ordering food, exchanging pleasantries, but also asking questions to which you don’t invariably understand the answers. You get by but often fall back on your English and/or German. You have Czech friends and colleagues, sometimes wives and husbands, and you are committed to the Czech Republic, and motivated towards learning more. In this course we continue to develop your vocabulary, as well as your grammar and cultural knowledge. Now we are really getting into the area where we can begin to use more Czech and less English and enjoy the relaxed conversational focus MAVO is known for.

Czech for Foreigners – Course IV. – INTERMEDIATE

Now you’re talking! You have conversations at work, over the dinner table, perhaps at the in-laws. You are no longer scared of asking questions in shops, don’t get frowned at quite so often at information counter windows, but you know you make mistakes, and you struggle to understand those who don’t speak slowly and simply for you. You wish to progress that little bit more, develop fluency and, as is so important in Czech, a little precision in the way you speak. This course is for you.

Czech for Foreigners – Course V. – ADVANCED
