Czech Facts
Stress in the Czech accent has no bearing on distinguishing word meanings - it simply denotes boundaries between words
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
Czech is closely related to Slovak, Polish and Sorbian
Our Czech speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided for you.
Book now / EnquiryThose who would benefit the most from these Czech tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Czech to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Czech, as well as survival Czech should a visit to the country be necessary.
Book now / EnquiryThese Czech lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Czech by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Czech to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Czech culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Czech exam.
Book now / EnquiryThose wishing to learn Czech in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Czech Courses or Small Group In-Company Czech Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Czech proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Czech Courses can occur with up to 12 people.
