Learning Czech online
You can learn Czech through videos at your own pace. The courses are well-structured, videos are grouped into sections according to the topic and there are lots of quizzes for you to practise what you have learned.
The video courses I show here are accessible on the Udemy platform. If you're interested in a course, simply click on the red button saying "Preview this course" or on the picture available on this page. You will be taken to the course description on Udemy where you can purchase it as well. I will appreciate it if you buy the course through the links or access I share (such as those on this page) because this way, I will get the most revenue. If you buy Udemy courses without the tutor's reference link, the platform (Udemy) will get most of the share. Please keep this in mind whenever you purchase a Udemy course. 🙂
A Fantastic Journey Into The Czech Language & Culture
Level: A0/A1 (Absolute Beginners, False Beginners, Elementary)
Over 12 hours of video material.
Are you planning on moving to the Czech Republic and you have little or no experience with its language? Are you going to spend some time traveling or studying in the Czech Republic? Or is your partner Czech and you wish to understand his or her culture and language?
The Czech language is beautiful and worth exploring (Elvish-like, I dare to say!). You get to enjoy the rich culture of the Czech Republic when you order your food or ride the public transportation. In the meantime you will get to experience the beautiful constructs of the language. You will realize that my course is fun, light, yet very informative!

Čeština na gauči (Learn Czech effectively)
Level: A0/A1/A2 (Beginner/Elementary/Pre-Intermediate)
2 hours of video material + 70-page e-textbook
The course Čeština na gauči (Czech language on the sofa) comes with an original PDF textbook based on my video series.
You can look forward to learning a total of 121 words throughout the whole course. Each video has about 5 minutes and presents 6 words. There are a total of 20 videos focused on various practical topics. However, you will learn much more: useful words in a context, their spelling and pronunciation, interesting and useful remarks and related vocabulary and grammar not in an overwhelming way. The complement to the videos is the before mentioned booklet of 70 pages which will help you expand your newly acquired knowledge from the videos.
The topics presented in the book are practical and a perfect for everyday life communication. Although each lesson is focused on teaching items (mostly nouns), the additional exercises will not only help you practice the words in context but also get you acquainted with related vocabulary such as adjectives and verbs. You will also learn synonyms for each topic.

When Czech Stories Are Never Better 1
Level: A2/B1/B2 (Pre-Intermediate/Intermediate/Upper-Intermediate)
2.5 hours of video material
If you enjoy reading short stories and learning languages, you have come to the right place!
This course is designed for learners who would like to improve their Czech through entertaining real-life stories that happened in Prague. These funny, heartwarming stories took place during awkward situations or even embarrassing encounters in public places (transportation, streets, or the park).
Here, I present the stories in the colloquial Czech as they originally happened. I selected 15 stories from a book titled Odposlechnuto v Praze (Overheard in Prague) and explained everything you need to know about the language and the culture to understand and enjoy the story. Together, we will read anecdotes from humorous situations involving dogs, family members, faux-pas in the meeting, at a restaurant and on the tram. You might find yourself interested in the job of being a public transport ticket inspector.

- Introduction of the story
- Part by part translation
- Explanation of important/interesting vocabulary and grammar on the whiteboard
