Maybe...
You’ve already attended a Czech course and you were surprised by the difference between the pronunciation in Czech and in your language, especially English.
You are planning to attend a Czech course and you’ve heard or read something about the „phonetic“ nature of Czech. You naturally think it will be easy – you’ll just read as it is written.
You guess grammar and vocabulary are very important when we learn a foreign language. But you also know the good pronunciation is the key to understand and make you understand by people you meet every day.
If you are a pre-beginner or total beginner in Czech, save you energy for Czech vocabulary and grammar and take an advance by getting familiar with the pronunciation!
If you’ve already started learning Czech and the Czech pronunciation still seems a bit mysterious to you, have a pronunciation refresh!
Yes, it is for me.

Who's the teacher?
My name is Věra Rádyová. I've been teaching students from many countries and with a various language background. I love helping them to improve and be able to communicate in Czech. Thanks to my Chinese and English speaking students, I realised the pronunciation deserves more attention than it receives in regular courses.
What are the benefits of the course?
It's a time limited course where you're not alone.
You have my support and support of the whole group.
You have a quick feedback, so you don't repeat mistakes.
You have 3 weeks to progress on your pace.
The timing is ideal to hop on a course in a language school.
You can get an interesting bonus, if you are active during the 3 weeks.
Is Starting with Czech necessary?
No, it isn’t. You can join a Czech course and feel more or less lost after several lessons. You can browse You Tube and find many videos with Czech alphabet, even very well done. And try on your own, again and again. Ask your Czech friends and listen to their explanations about „softness“ and „hardness“ and „but you must hear it, no?“. And then, try to find out what they actually mean. You’ll lose your precious time and fossilize your mistakes. It’s really up to you.
Or you can let you lead progressively, get information for which there’s rarely time for during public and group language courses, and be ready to speak with Czechs the way they will understand and the communication will become a pleasure for both sides.
