The exam has two parts: oral and written.

In the oral part, interview with the teacher takes place first, picture description and comparison and then a short conversation with a partner on a given topic.

Next, there is a written test.

Both parts cover the topics of Česky krok za krokem 1 and the two-year Czech course here at the faculty.

It is not necessary to take these courses. Consult the teacher if you are not sure whether to take the courses or not.
