Summer school of Czech Studies Albertov-2009

michael norris“Czech and czech Culture” Summer Intensive Course, Albertov Study Center

Unforgetable group of nice and colorful people…These were very talented students, hardworking and I have to say some of them could easily stay here and work in Czech language. We all loved singing Czech songs including J.Nohavica and the Czech anthem.

Five hours of intensive teaching Czech every weekday and a wide range of afternoon and evening activities made the course very special.

We have organised an educational and cultural program consisting of:

  • visiting interesting sights and places
  • discussions with well-known personalities of the Czech cultural life-Entropa and D.Černý
