Czech Course - Los Angeles - California - Language Door - Los Angeles - I413

Language Door Los Angeles offers small interactive Czech classes. Our comfortable, casual environment helps to make learning Czech fun and convenient. We schedule our classes at times that work for busy adults. Enrich your life as you learn one language or learn many.

 For the Beginning A to Intermediate C classes, we use "Colloquial Czech" by Routledge.

This second edition of the Colloquial Czech has been rewritten to bring it completely up to date. The lessons in this book introduce a significantly wider range of themes and settings, and it aims to take you up to a level at which you can begin to communicate on a range of essential everyday topics, as well as tackle books, the press and other media.

    * Designed for both individual study and class use
    * Range of simulating exercises with answer key
