Teachers

Introducing Žaneta

Hi, my name is Žaneta, and I’m excited to guide you on your journey to learning Czech!

I have been teaching Czech to foreigners for five years, and it’s a job I truly love. I’m passionate about helping my students feel confident and enjoy every step of their learning experience. I believe lessons should be engaging, interactive, and filled with laughter.

I hold a degree in Czech Language and Biology Education and am currently pursuing a PhD focused on the didactics of teaching Czech as a foreign and second language. This background allows me to design creative and effective lessons tailored to your needs, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to polish your skills.
I’m also trained to evaluate oral exams for foreigners during the citizenship exams, so I’m well-versed in helping you reach your language goals.

Introducing Zdenka

Your new language teacher! Her passion for the Czech language and literature led her to pursue studies at the University of Ostrava. Since 2016, Zdenka has been sharing her expertise, teaching Czech to foreigners, and serving on the examination board for Czech Citizenship (2016 – 2023).

“My biggest hobby is currently my three-year-old daughter and I also enjoy reading and teaching”

With a focus on precision and clarity, she creates an engaging learning environment that encourages her students to embrace the Czech language. Join Mluv Česky and start learning!
