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

Those 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.

These 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.
