Czech for Foreigners
Czech courses that finally make real life easier
Living in the Czech Republic is much easier when Czech stops feeling impossible. At MAVO, we teach practical Czech for everyday life, work, family, offices, shops, neighbours and real conversations.
Our courses are designed especially for English-speaking expats and non-Slavic students. We do not mix students randomly just because they are “foreigners”. Different language backgrounds need different explanations, pace and support.
- Small groups – enough space to speak, ask and practise.
- Practical Czech – real-life situations, not endless theory.
- Clear explanations in English when needed.
- Friendly atmosphere – no pressure, no embarrassment.
- Pronunciation and confidence – so Czech people can actually understand you.
- Culture and context – because language is not just grammar.

Learn Czech through real situations
We know Czech can feel difficult, especially if your first language is not Slavic. That is why we build the lessons step by step and focus on what you actually need in daily life.
In our lessons, you practise Czech for situations such as:
- ordering food, shopping and small talk,
- talking to neighbours, colleagues or your child’s school,
- dealing with offices and appointments,
- understanding basic Czech messages and signs,
- speaking more naturally and with less stress.
"I had tried to learn Czech before, but I always gave up. Here it finally felt structured, human and not scary."
– Brian, UK
"The lessons helped me use Czech in normal situations, not just understand grammar from a book."
– Julien, France
We do not mix everyone together
English-speaking and non-Slavic students usually need a different learning path than students from Slavic countries. The grammar feels different, pronunciation is harder and the pace must be adjusted carefully.
- We explain Czech clearly and logically.
- We give students enough time to speak.
- We focus on confidence, pronunciation and real communication.
- We keep groups small so nobody gets lost.
This is especially important for students who have already tried a mixed group elsewhere and felt that the pace was either too fast or not suitable for them.
"In my previous course, some students already understood Czech much better than me. At MAVO, the group made sense and I finally had time to speak."
– Melih, Turkey
"I liked that the teacher could explain Czech in English when it was really needed, but still made us speak Czech."
– Jeanette, Philippines
From survival Czech to confident communication
You may need Czech for work, family life, permanent residence, daily errands or simply because you want to feel more at home in the Czech Republic. We help you move from “I understand a little” to “I can actually use it”.

Why English-speaking students learn differently
For many English speakers, Czech grammar, pronunciation and sentence structure feel very different. That is why our lessons are patient, structured and practical.
- We explain difficult grammar clearly and in manageable steps.
- We practise pronunciation, because being understood is often more important than being perfect.
- We build useful phrases for real-life situations.
- We help students speak, not just complete exercises.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is to feel more confident using Czech in real life.
