Language courses for the general public
We offer standard language courses, conversation, preparation courses for international exams & certificates and industry-oriented language courses (business, legal and so on).
Languages taught in group courses:
Attendance courses for the general public are modelled so as to enhance students’ language skills on a universal basis: speech, vocabulary, grammar and reading and listening comprehension.
The maximum number of students in a group is 10; as regards conversation practise and preparation for international exams, the maximum number is 8.
All of our teachers are professionals with many years’ experience who hold teaching / language certificates.
Preparation for a Czech exam for permanent residence applicants, level A1

The course is designed for foreigners who have applied for a permanent residence permit in the Czech Republic. Applicants must pass a level A1 Czech exam according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF). The course follows a methodology produced upon recommendation of the MŠMT (centralized content). The methodology focuses on preparation for the exam, as opposed to teaching general language. Its objective is to help you attain level A1 and get you ready to pass the exam. Our teachers make sure that you adopt the basic level of all language skills: listening, reading, writing, speaking and grammar.
