This autonomous language course is a one-semester course for students learning a foreign language here at the faculty (including Czech as a foreign language for incoming students). Native speakers of two different languages work together to help each other learn the target language as well as to learn about the target culture and community. The tandem is expected to set goals, discuss the methods of learning/teaching each other. Both partners should benefit equally from the exchange. This parallel session is only for INTERNATIONAL students. If you are Czech, enroll in YBEC143.
