Your second option can be local specialized language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements.

If flexibility is key, you can compare local Luton and online Czech tutors.
🎟 How expensive is it to learn Czech and what does a lesson with a tutor of Czech cost?
For university and college courses you can estimate Czech course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 1/2 of a hundred course hours each semester. Language centers and private Czech tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Czech tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 28 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, ratings and popularity.

📚 How much Czech do I need to know to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and tests, so research those in advance. With personal Czech tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Czech so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Czech. Realistically, you can gain basic Czech fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Czech. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Czech tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to learn Czech?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Czech will necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Czech or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Czech out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Czech classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Czech instructor?
In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Czech tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges as a rule run 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.
