intensive

Práce s touhle skupinou  14 mladých lidí je pro mě zajímavá  zkušenost, a to nejen z hlediska učitele češtiny pro cizince, ale i z hlediska pedagogického.

Bohužel jako externí učitel tady učím jen jeden den. O to víc nás společná práce baví a motivuje.

Z úplných začátečníků jsme dosáhli úrovně A2 (učebnice Communicative Czech), poznali jsme českou kulturu. Studenti jsou schopni se obstojně vyjádřit k různým tématům a kontroverzním otázkám, což je pro učitele největší odměna.

You can spend a great time together even learning such a difficult language as Czech!

If people really want  (and the teacher is very tough :)) 100 hours of Czech language can bring great results!

Great, hardworking, rellaxed people who came to Prague to study Erasmus and wanted to get to know not only  Czech language but also Czech culture.

The culture program was again very interesting,  we met lots of interesting Czech people eg. David Černý, Jiří Suchý, Jarek Nohavica.

Funny but tough lessons were spiced with singing and theatre.

Czech was the main language also during the walks through Prague, or canoe trip.

Hodně štěstí s češtinou!

“Czech and czech Culture”
Summer Intensive Course, Albertov Study Center, 28.7. - 22.8. 2008

This summer course was far from a traditional language course.
Five hours of intensive teaching Czech every weekday and a wide range of afternoon and evening activities made the course very special.

We have organised an educational and cultural program consisting of:

• visiting interesting sights and places
• discussions with well-known personalities of the Czech cultural life
• guided tours of Prague and
• trips outside Prague

and enriched by activities organised by the teachers themself. I have organised the following activities: A rock concert, theatre DISK, one day canoeing trip with lessons on the water and a lesson of the Acting with inner partner.

Students: 13 students from different european countries.
Level: absolute beginners
Material used: Czech Express I., Czech Step by Step, lesson 1-6

Topics covered: basic social phrases, greetings, how to introduce myself, talking about myself and my family, likes and dislikes,
