Karolína Pavlíková
I appreciate how speaking foreign languages allows me to get to know other people and cultures in a deeper way. That’s why I teach Czech to foreigners wherever I get the chance, be it at the university or in a café. This will be my third time at the Summer School, and I’m already looking forward to new friendships, trips, and litres of RedBull shared with the assistant team.
I studied Teaching Czech as a Foreign Language and French, which allowed me not only to explore other Romance languages but also took me to Geneva for an Erasmus stay and later to Brussels for an internship at the Czech Centre. But what I enjoy the most in my free time is drumming on Okinawan drums at festivals with friends from both the Czech Republic and Japan – so here I am learning Japanese.
When I’m not studying, teaching or drumming, I enjoy hiking in the mountains, experimenting in the
kitchen, reading, and playing board games or ping pong.
Šárka Petrovičová
This will be my third time attending the summer school as an assistant, and just like in previous years, I’m really looking forward to it. I speak Czech and English fluently, and I understand a bit of German, Russian, and Japanese. I enjoy exploring languages, learning them, and also teaching them, as I’m a teacher of Czech and English. I love getting to know foreign cultures. My favorite way to spend time is with a book and a cup of coffee, but I also enjoy board games and computer games. I’m very friendly, so feel free to come and have a chat with me anytime.
Josef Jan Škoda
This is my fourth year at the Summer School of Slavonic Studies. I speak Czech, English, and almost French. I never go anywhere without my sketchbook, markers, and headphones. I’m involved in visual art, especially Surrealism and Constructivism. Even though I don’t smile much, don’t hesitate to approach me — I’m always happy to help you with any technical problem.
