The "Oriental language contact kit": Czech

Very short, practical dialogues will help you acquire the words and automatisms you need for your everyday exchanges. The dialogues are accompanied by grammar points and simple vocabulary. Video activities and written exercises will enable you to check your knowledge and progress. Finally, we'll talk about everyday life in the Czech Republic.

At the end of the course, you'll know how to introduce yourself, book a hotel room, buy transport tickets and move around, place an order in a restaurant, and shop for gifts and food.

Bref, you'll be ready to stop being strangers in the Czech Republic and make friends here!

The MOOC in practice

The training runs from March 11 to May 26, 2024.
It lasts 10 weeks. The pace of work is estimated at 5h per week, i.e. 50h of training.

Each week, you'll find around 1h30 of videos with dialogues, explanations and activities. The course is structured by playlets representing everyday communication situations and short theoretical lectures that develop the elements of grammar, lexicon and civilization.

Complementing the teaching focused on practical communication, once a week we offer an optional language seminar that puts the grammar elements covered in the playlets and explanatory videos into a broader theoretical context, among other things from a contrastive point of view, taking into consideration other Slavic languages close to Czech. The cultural note will not be forgotten, with the presentation of tourist highlights and a special focus on craft trades.

Daily exercises and weekly self-corrected tests will enable you to check your acquired skills.
