Classes

Students are divided into study groups based on their language skills.

Groups consist of a maximum of 15 students.

The study materials are included in the course fee (textbooks according to language level).

The course consists of 100 onsite lessons among 20 days with 5 lessons a day:

  • Intensive Czech language course,
  • Specialized seminars,
  • Pronunciation course,
  • Workshops,
  • Series of lectures (Czech language, realia, literature, history and culture).

(Course composition can differ depending on the student’s Czech language competency.)

Completing the LŠSS can be understood as equivalent to earning 8 ECTS credits.
