Like in each Czech course the emphasis is put on speaking and understanding. Students work individually, in couples or groups, they do presentations with questions for colleagues, they watch teasers from Czech movies, read Czech newspaper. During lessons short video spots are used that help students to be well oriented in a given communicative situation.
When practising your language skills, it is ok to use AI to support your language development. You can use it for brainstorming, creating outlines, even when training written production. Remember it is not ok, however, to use AI to think for us or to do the hard work of figuring out how to express our ideas in our writing. WRITING = THINKING. As far as teachers’ work with AI is concerned, any use of artificial intelligence tools will be carried out in a way that protects students' personal data. Student work will not be used to train AI models. Last update: Pellarová Kristina, Mgr. (15.09.2026)

The prerequisite for obtaining 6 credits and passing the exam is active participation in the course (70%). Active participation constitutes one third of your final grade. The exam cannot be taken online. If the student needs to return to his/her country before the end of the course, it is the student's responsibility to arrange an exam with the teacher. The exam can also be taken with another teacher, but only with permission from both teachers. 80 minutes of interactive studying with a teacher, reamining 40 minutes of self studies. Participation in at least 18 lessons out of the total number of lessons is required. It is possible to have max. 4 absences without giving a reason, further absences only with a scan of a medical report. We require an active approach, i. e. -completing of the assigned tasks in class -completing of the assigned HW Test at the end of each thematic lesson. Succesful comletion of these tests is a prerequisite for admission to the final test. Final test is written. If the sudent fails to complete all HW assignments or fails the tests, the grade will be lowered by one grade. Grading scale of the final test:
