About Me
italki teacher since Feb 14, 2019InterestsMusicReadingTravel
Hello everyone. I am a big fan of languages. I love visiting new places and wherever I go, I try to learn some local vocabulary and phrases. Moreover, I like music – listening and piano playing – that's why I really care about good pronunciation. I am able to talk about various topics, so don't hesitate do contact me.
About Slovakia and Slovak language. People always argue if it's Eastern or Central Europe, so let's make a compromise: we'll call it the Eastern part of Central Europe. Since it is surrounded by other mostly slavic nations, it has the advantage of being able to understand pretty well the other languages like Czech, Polish, Ukrainian (which has a different script though).
Me as a Teacher
In my private life, I am a teacher in a college, but not of languages... But I am quite creative and I think I can catch up with your needs and adjust my explanation to what you expect. I am also fond of grammar, etymologies and connection between different languages.
I have also a busy work life but still I want to be helpful with teaching others my language, so I will try to do my best to find a mutually suitable time for a lesson. Currently, I reside in another part of the world so the time difference can be sometimes an issue. In case my available time slots don't fit yours, please contact me and we can find other options.My lessons & teaching style
I don't have a fancy introduction video but I will try to explain myself with words...
I am here to help you to learn or practice Slovak, this minor yet useful slavic language, but my primary goal is that everyone of us has fun at talking. I have experience of studying a couple of languages so maybe I can explain to you many things in your own language if necessary.
My main point is practicing conversation while explaining basic grammar or slang expressions. We can discuss a lot of topics according to your preferences. Why don't give it a try? I can't wait to meet you in class.My teaching material

I really appreciate when teachers go out of their way to provide examples and charts for concepts I'm struggling with and Jakub is amazing at this. When I mention wanting to improve in a certain area he takes it to heart and makes personalized content to use for the next lesson. He's the best!

Jakub ist ein ausgezeichneter Lehrer. Für meine Bedürfnisse ein idealer Lehrer, dem es gelungen ist, durch seinen sehr abwechslungsreichen Unterricht das Interesse für seine sehr schwierige Muttersprache zu fördern. Seine Erklärungen dazu sind fundiert und aufschlussreich. Ich kann Jakub als Slowakischlehrer allen sehr empfehlen!!!!!
