Thinking about booking a lesson with me? Why not give it a try with this short demo. You can experience my approach to coaching you in your new language and I can find out more details about your learning needs to make your next lesson even better.

Have you ever tried content-based learning? Do you know that it is possible to acquire a new language by immersing your brains in stories, podcasts, videos, movies, and books that you like and understand? Grammar and vocabulary will come up in a natural way, as we meet them in your favorite content and the follow-up discussions.

Learning a language through interesting input is not only possible. Decades of research by Stephen D. Krashen and other educational scientists have proven it to be the most effective way of learning we know so far. It is the one thing that all of us who can speak several languages have in common. Give it a try and you will see your own results.

If you're a beginner, don't worry about authentic content being too difficult. We will use simplified sources and we can even create together some tailor-made native recordings of the things that you want to learn to say.

Content-Based English

Let's work together on your ability to express your ideas in Czech and take part in a meaningful conversation. We will talk about topics you like or ones that are relevant to your life. You can choose if you want to get feedback including error-correction or if you prefer to concentrate on fluency and building your language self-confidence.

Chcete se naučit domluvit s rodilými mluvčími češtiny? Společně to natrénujeme. Budeme mluvit o věcech, které vás baví, nebo jsou důležité pro váš život. Mohu vám dávat zpětnou vazbu k chybám, anebo se můžeme soustředit na posílení vašeho sebevědomí při mluvení cizím jazykem.

Speaking Coaching - English

I have experience teaching languages to children from 2-year-olds to teenagers. My lessons are full of toys, songs, and stories, introducing and revising useful chunks of language in a non-threatening way.

I am a mother of two young children myself. My son (8) and daughter (4) are the best evidence that my method of helping kids acquire languages really works. They can already understand a lot of English and they speak and joke spontaneously in the new language. Czech can seem like a difficult second language to learn, but with a natural approach, your kids can have fun and make great progress.

Due to an error in the system, I cannot change the prices for English lessons. This English lesson under Czech language enables my English students to pay my current prices. Thank you very much.
