Czech Facts
Czech is closely related to Slovak, Polish and Sorbian
Czech is regulated by the Czech Language Institute
Some words in Czech appear not to have any vowels, such as 'zmrzl' ('frozen solid'), resulting in some teething problems for native speakers of other languages wishing to learn

Book now / EnquiryThese courses in Czech are meant for those that feel that learning Czech would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone Czech and e-mail Czech skills for communicating, as well as survival Czech if a short visit to the country is needed.
Book now / EnquiryCzech courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Czech - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Czech usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Czech classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Czech culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Czech.
