For CU employees interested in learning Czech we offer the possibility to attend an intensive evening course free of charge. The course is organized by CU Staff Welcome Centre in cooperation with ILPS CU (ÚJOP).
The Czech language course is designed for international CU employees (not for students) at various language levels and beginners are encouraged to join. Upon enrolment, an initial placement test will assess your proficiency and recommend a compatible study group, ensuring your optimal language progress.
The CU covers the fee for each participant for one semester only. Absence up to 25% is tolerated. However, in order to benefit the most from this opportunity, please consider your time capacity before committing to the course.
Course registration takes place in August and September for winter semester and in December and January for summer semester. Registration opening is announced in the CU employee newsletter. Beyond the registration period, please let us know of your interest via email at swc@cuni.cz.
• February 6th to June 12th, 2025, every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30pm to 7pm (Except any public holidays)
• Location: ÚJOP at Voršilská 144/1, Praha 1.
The number of places is limited. If interested, please register here.
