What Our Alumni Say

Stephanie

University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice

I’ve taken a variety of Czech courses – traditional evening classes at university, one-on-one conversational lessons online, women-only group lessons... My biggest piece of advice is to find a method that works for you, and to remind yourself that Rome Prague wasn’t built in a day. I’ve gone from practicing “the kráva eats the tráva” (the cow eats the grass) to preparing for the Czech citizenship exam, and you can too!

Charles University

Choosing to study the Czech language parallel to my university programme was a practical decision at first. However, it quickly became something more personal and meaningful to me. As I’d progressed, I realized how empowering it was to understand the language of the environment I study and live in. It gave me a sense of independence a deeper connection to my academic, work and daily life.

I arrived in Czechia with a clear goal: to master Cybersecurity and take that expertise back home. However, the reality of living here quickly reshaped my ambitions. Within just three months, I transitioned from a student to a professional at an influential company - an opportunity that would have been a distant dream in my home country. Beyond the technical skills, Czechia pushed me out of my comfort zone. Immersing myself in a new culture and building a diverse network molded my personality in ways I never anticipated. I found a country where the professional opportunities in my field are vast and the community is incredibly welcoming. What started as a temporary academic journey has evolved into a career-defining experience. My advice to future students? Don't just study the curriculum; embrace the massive professional landscape this country offers. The doors are open - you just have to walk through them.
