Czech Language Courses for Foreigners

Ivan, Bosnia and Herzegovina

"I have finally visited places that I had only seen on the internet."

"At ÚJOP I didn't only learn Czech but many other things as well: how to prepare a presentation, how to speak properly, what to do and what to avoid when presenting, etc. I am a geography teacher and so it is a very useful experience for me. I also met a lot of people from the Czech Republic, and which is very important for me is that I have finally visited places that I had only seen on the internet. That was a very important and also very beautiful experience for me as a geography teacher."

CESAR, Mexiko

"My life has changed because I understand better now."

"My studies have given me many things, for example, I have friends in my class and I understand and speak Czech better. We have experienced a lot of things in the classroom and outside as well, just because we practice a lot of speaking and correct writing in class. My life has changed because I understand better now. But my purpose or goal was to speak or understand my in-laws better because they are my parents now and also because my wife and I only speak Spanish. I would like to understand their culture better and talk to everyone."

"I am now more confident in Czech"

"Last semester, I studied at ÚJOP in Prague. Thanks to this I am now more confident in Czech, I can talk to my teachers and classmates and my speaking has improved a lot. It improved so much that I decided to take part in a presenting competition in Czech at ÚJOP and I took second place. I was very happy about that. It helped me a lot, I can now speak Czech with Czechs quite well. The competition was held in Český Krumlov, but my favourite place is still Prague"

Anna – Intensive Czech Course for Foreigners 2022/23

"Overcoming my fear of speaking was very important to me."

"It was very important for me to overcome my fear of speaking. After just one month on the course, I was able to make an appointment with my mother's doctor by phone (!), explain everything to her at the consultation and also arrange for the car to be repaired at the garage. It was a miracle!"

"The course guarantees to give you a great start for life in the Czech Republic."

"In my opinion, I can definitely recommend the classes here at UJOP Charles University because it is the one thing that can guarantee to give you a great start for life in the Czech Republic. It makes you and helps you understand the culture better. It provides you with a social circle of people who are in the same situation as you, and I do think that language is the one basis for getting integrated into a new culture to this state.

People always get very happy and excited if you speak Czech with them, so I just have to say if you're still thinking about it, if you are still on the edge, I can very much recommend it. Go to the class, try it out, learn some very good Czech in the beginning, and it will definitely pay off down the road."

Lis, Indonesia – Czech language courses

"You hear Czech every day from your teacher, your classmates, and your brain gets used to it"

"I would definitely recommend learning Czech, and UJOP Charles University has been the best option for me. I've tried many language courses, from the free ones to pay-as-you-go, and definitely, UJOP was the best.

I also recommend taking the Intensive course. Don't be afraid, because at the beginning, I was afraid and lacked confidence in learning Czech with Czech speakers. However, once you're there, you hear Czech every day from your teacher, your classmates, and your brain gets used to it. Then, you start to feel, 'Oh, this language is actually really interesting,' and you're no longer against it.

So, I would definitely recommend going to UJOP Charles University. You can take, for example, a six-week course, which is what I did initially with the A2 level. I gave it a try, loved it, and continued with the semester course."

Anton, Russia – Czech language courses

"By the time I completed the course, I was already able to attend an interview at the hospital and negotiate with the primary care officer about the start time and working conditions."

"When I joined the course, I didn't know a word of Czech. I didn't know how to say "yes" or "no". I knew "Good day," but nothing more. By the time I completed the course, I was already able to attend an interview at the hospital and negotiate with the primary care officer about the start time and working conditions.

The journey I have embarked on was immense. Thanks to the well-developed lessons we had, including textbooks and materials provided by teachers, everything went smoothly. Within three months, we had already mastered the basics of Czech. I was surprised by how quickly I achieved results, and I was thrilled that after only a few months of study, I was able to speak Czech."
