Beginner Czech courses

Step 1 - Introduction to Czech

This course is for students who have never studied Czech and possibly know just a few basic phrases and some very basic vocabulary or not even that. If you’re unsure if this course is for you or if you should start higher, please take our quick Czech language placement test.

Our online Czech lessons are interactive, and Prem is a qualified and experienced teacher, who will help you learn. He has a lot of experience of teaching beginner courses and will make you communicate in Czech from the first lesson. The lessons take place via Zoom and focus on you and your engagement with the study materials. In every Czech lesson, you will be busy from the beginning to the end – speaking with your partner(s) in the breakout rooms, listening to and reading various texts, enriching your vocabulary through interactive activities, and discovering the rules of Czech grammar. The teacher will be sharing their screen, so it will feel like being in a normal classroom with a whiteboard – but you will not have to leave the comfort of your home!

To make this course an enjoyable and enriching experience, you'll need:

• a reliable internet connection;

• a computer or a tablet (smartphone screens are too small);

• a working webcam, microphone, and ear/headphones;

• a quiet place where no one will disturb you.
