Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal Czech tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Czech so difficult and are there ways to learn it faster?
Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Czech. According to experts, you can gain basic Czech fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand many phrases, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year.

After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Czech tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Czech?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Czech will take at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Czech or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Czech out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Czech classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Czech coach?
In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened Czech tutors with detailed profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges offer classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
