Over the course of five days, we’ll tackle everything that prevents you from speaking Czech naturally and confidently. Each day focuses on a different topic: phonetics, slang, cultural context, phrases for setting boundaries, and common mistakes made by non-native speakers. During the marathon, you’ll learn how to sound more like a native Czech speaker, better understand native speakers, use up-to-date expressions, and feel more confident in real-life situations—from everyday conversations to moments when it’s important to stand your ground in Czech. The classes are suitable for all levels: if you’re just starting to learn Czech, you’ll understand what to focus on right from the start. If you already speak the language, you’ll be able to spot mistakes that prevent you from sounding more natural and make your speech more lively. You can participate in one day or several days at once.
