The course is intended for Pre-Intermediate students who have studied Czech in our A1/II course or have acquired the basics of Czech in other courses. It is assumed that the candidate has studied the textbook Čeština expres 2, or at least 12 lessons from the textbook Česky krok za krokem 1, or completed about 100-140 x 45min lessons in previous courses. Students will partially acquire language competencies of A2 level.
The course runs twice a week, so it is more intensive and you should reach A2 level within a year. It is not a course for the permanent residency exam, but it will prepare you well for the required level.

In the second semester, all plural cases, the imperative, verb tense, passive voice, pronouns and adverbs are taught.
