Expats.cz Language Schools Guide

It goes without saying that learning the language of the country you live in can significantly improve your quality of life and open doors to new opportunities both socially and professionally. It’s also worth noting that certain Czech residency permits now have a language requirement which means that for those seeking permanent residency, language proficiency of A2 is required.

The good news is that Prague boasts numerous language-learning schools for foreigners looking to learn Czech, so there’s no reason not to level up your Czech skills whether you’re a complete beginner or simply need a refresher course or are looking for preparatory courses to help fulfill the language element of obtaining permanent residency.

As you look for the right course for you, here are some points to keep in mind. First off, the language-learning landscape has changed over the years. For those who learn best in the traditional classroom setting, in-person language classes are still your best bet, however, many of them offer more flexible schedules or have added online learning options.

You’ll even find that a number of schools take a more social approach with events, tours, films or classes geared toward brushing up on your Czech offered in addition to regular instruction. The availability of language apps have also made it easier to practice and maintain what you’ve learned, while social media groups organizing information meetups and free language exchanges are another great way to make friends and improve your Czech.
