czech for children

about us

LAURUS language center was established in 2007. Over the last 8 years we have developed special language programs for pre-school and school children and have created special learning materials. LAURUS offers a wide range of children´s courses and Czech as a foreign language is one of them; Besides traditional teaching methods we also use modern ways of teaching which support and activate communication skills. We teach in groups of 4-6 children and 80 % of the communication is in Czech.

The school is located in Prague 6, in Dejvice, and is easily accessible by metro A (station Hradčanská or Dejvická).

what does czech class look like?

At the beginning of each class we revise the last topic, we make a competition, revision game or write (draw) dictate. Then we start a new topic (speaking, drawing, writing, reading). There is short break after the first part of the class. After the break we finish the new topic and play another game, roleplay or a situation game. We usually sing a song at the end of each czech class.
