You can learn today

Inside there are A1–A2 lessons, a personal dashboard, an A2 vocabulary trainer, progress and spaced reviews.

You learn to speak

You hear and say every important phrase out loud — not just read it with your eyes.

Focused on Czechia

Topics are built around life here: transport, the doctor, school, work, renting, paperwork.

Honest promises

We prepare you for the exam format and real life, but we don't promise a "magic guaranteed pass".

Vocabulary without the mess

Three levels of words — for different goals

We don't mix the "starter minimum", the lesson vocabulary and the official Soupis. So you always know what you're learning and why.

Essential minimum

Everyday words and phrases you need right away: shop, transport, doctor, school, renting, documents.

Course vocabulary

Words appear inside the A1–A2 lessons: with a picture, pronunciation, a mini-test and homework.

Extended Soupis

The official A1–A2 list with a learner's translation, pronunciation and reviews for the A2 exam.

Exam Trainer A2

Included in Annual Max: reading, listening, writing, speaking, a timer and a final report.

Who it's for

Three clear paths instead of chaos

The main focus is life in Czechia, A2 exam prep, and families who want to ease their children into the language.

Adults from scratch in Czechia

The shop, the doctor, renting, work, paperwork and the conversations you really need once you live here.

PR

Preparing for A2

Included in Annual Max: reading, listening, writing, speaking, a timer, scores and a weak-spots map.

Families with kids

Method

We teach the way you actually learn

There are no people "bad at languages" — only the wrong method. We combine 6 approaches that work and mix them for you.

Visual

Word = picture + colour + association. For people who remember with their eyes.

Audio repetition

Listen and repeat out loud — the audio-first principle, where pronunciation comes before reading.

Spaced repetition

Smart cards show a word right when you start to forget it.

Real situations

Phrases for the café, the doctor, work — the way they actually sound in everyday speech.

Through stories

New words inside a short story — the brain holds on to the plot.

Grammar as patterns

Not tables, but ready phrase templates you slot words into.

A complete path from A1 to the A2 exam 20 A1 lessons lead into 24 A2 lessons: from first phrases to the doctor, work, school, paperwork and exam situations. Annual Max also opens the separate Exam Trainer.

Life in Czechia

Not just a course — a language helper

The focus isn't abstract topics but ready actions: book a doctor, understand a letter from the úřad, talk at school, rent a flat, buy a ticket and not get lost in the city.

Real-life situations

Doctor, post office, bank, renting, police, school, kindergarten, work, public transport, shopping and the pharmacy.

Czech for paperwork

How to read a letter from the úřad and official forms without panic: potvrzení, přihláška, pojišťovna.

The city as your trainer

Prague, Brno, Plzeň, Ostrava and Liberec: transport, everyday places and first-day phrases.

Official and safe

Links to government and learning sources so you can always check the rules for the exam, PR and integration.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked

The essentials before you start.

It's the most common fear — and it's almost never about ability, it's the wrong method. At the start we ask how you prefer to take things in (see, hear, read or do) and present the material your way. We begin from the very basics — the sounds of the letters.
10–15 minutes a day is enough. A little but regular beats long cramming: short sessions and smart reviews give a steady result without burnout.
Yes. For kids 7–12 — games, songs and movement with Liska the fox. For teens 13–17 — memes, music and shows, so it's interesting rather than "like school".
There's a dedicated A2 exam track with practice for all four parts and sample tasks. We help you prepare, but the exam itself is taken at an accredited centre — check current rules and dates on the official sources.
The basics are free forever: the alphabet, first phrases and the phrasebook. Premium and Annual Max are paid. You can start without payment and without a card.
