Who are my students in Czech lessons

Moji studenti jsou opravdu zdaleka. Studentka z Burjatské republiky teď studuje v Praze.

33 students were from companies, usually international ones. Next 47 there are secondary school or university students.

I was preparing 13 students for Czech school entrance exams. 2 students (66 %) passed the secondary school exam, 8
(80 %) the university exam.

Several special Czech lessons took place

Cooking and practising accusative

• 3 lessons of cooking = 9 portions of jelly. Look how we were cooking during lessons.
• 7 lessons in real situations. Students were asking Czechs for help: how to get to…, how to find out information…
• 2 lessons with guests. Read what the lesson with sports photographer Jan Kucharčík was like. And look at the pictures from the „Czech-Brazilian“ party with Mr. and Mrs. Malina – a couple from Brazil.

Best moments from lessons

• pánka = female word created from pán = Mr (correct: paní = Mrs)
• On nebude dnes na lekce protoze on je nemozny. = He won´t be at the lesson today because he is an outsider. (correct: nemocný = ill)
• Jsi skřivánek, nebo sova? – Jsem savo. (untranslatable  :))
• [dža džem …] = já jsem (correct: [ya: sem])

I thank all my students for an amazing year.

Happy New Year 2017!
