You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Czech teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the lesson at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant lesson materials.
These Czech lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Czech - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Czech culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Czech examination.
These Czech Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Czech to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone Czech and e-mail Czech skills for communications as well as Survival Czech required for short visits to a country.
Those wishing to learn Czech in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Czech Lessons or Small Group In-Company Czech Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Czech proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Czech Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.
Non-native speakers often have problems with Czech pronunciation; mainly because several words have no vowels, like 'zmrzl', which means 'frozen'
Czech has three main dialects - Common, Moravian and Silesian Czech. In terms of grammar they are all very similar, but pronunciation differs
Most Slovaks are able to understand Czech, and vice versa - the languages are very similar in form

Chula Vista
Recent archaeological digs in Chula Vista, California uncovered that human life existed in the area almost 10,000 years ago. More recently, the city has enjoyed prosperous economic times thanks to its proximity to the San Diego area. The city is the second largest in San Diego County and may even grow larger in the future city officials are discussing plans to grow the borders of the city to allow for new development. The U.S. Olympic Team trains in Chula Vista at the country's only year-round, multi-purpose sports excellence training facility. The city represents some of the most forward-thinking urban planning in California as many of the public works projects have designed with the environment in mind. Speaking Spanish in Chula Vista is a huge plus, as a large percentage of the population hails from Mexico. With the busiest international border crossing in the world a mere seven miles away, it's easy to see why Spanish is the second language of choice.
