Learn From Experts

Meet Your Teachers

Our beginner courses are taught by Jacob, who knows how to explain everything in a way that makes sense to English speakers, while higher levels are taught by Beata so you get used to having conversations with a native speaker.

Jacob

Beginner levels

Founder · From England

Having spent the last decade getting conversationally fluent in Czech, from Jacob you'll get expert explanations from someone who has already learnt Czech and knows how to explain things in a way that make sense to English speakers. And don't worry, you'll still get native pronunciation from Beata in the videos for the course!

Beata

Beata

Intermediate & advanced

Czech Teacher · From Czech Republic

For our higher level courses, Beata takes over so you get used to talking and listening to a Czech native speaker. With a nice clear Czech accent (and perfectly fluent English as well!), you can look forward to what we think are the best intermediate level Czech courses in Prague!

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Shouldn't I have a Czech person teach me Czech?

Our beginner courses are taught by Jacob, our British founder who has spent the last ten years reaching a highly conversational level of Czech, while our intermediate and advanced courses are taught by Beata, a Czech native.

We think there are some big advantages to having a bilingual British teacher for our beginner courses. Firstly, Jacob knows what is hard and why it feels hard to people with English brains - and how to explain it in a way that makes sense to English speakers. Secondly, Jacob is a highly experienced teacher who is able to explain complex topics in a down-to-earth way that make sense. Lastly, as he has already learnt Czech, he can be quite sure that his method of teaching Czech works, as he's already used it on himself!

If you're not sure if you would rather have lessons with Jacob or a Czech teacher, book a free online call and ask us about it — there's nothing to pay and nothing to commit to.

How do cancellations work?

Individual Classes

If you are unable to attend your regular lesson time (which is agreed on before paying for the classes), you're very welcome to contact Jacob to see if it's possible to reschedule. While we'll always do our best to help, alternative times can't be guaranteed. If no suitable availability is possible, the lesson will be lost.

Pair Classes

The same as individual classes - if both students aren't able to make the usual time you can try to rearrange the class with Jacob. If no rearrangement is possible the lesson will be lost.

If just one student comes to class the other student simply misses out on the class.

Group Classes

If you miss a group class you simply lose the lesson. We do not offer the option to join another group to make up for the lost lesson.

How does paying for lessons work?

Once you choose a lesson package and agree on a lesson time you will receive an invoice with a QR payment link for the full lesson package. All lesson packages are paid for in full up front.

We do not offer the option to pay in instalments or monthly.

Where do in-person classes take place?

In-person classes take place in our modern office in the centre of Prague (next to Můstek metro station). Individual lessons can also take place at a pre-arranged place in central Prague (potential extra travel fee for longer travel).

How do online classes work?

Our online classes take place on Google Meet. After buying a package and choosing a lesson time you will receive a weekly calendar event which contains the link to the lesson - there's nothing for you to do as the event will show up in your calendar automatically! We also put the link to the Google Doc for your lesson notes in the same event!

Do you do exam preparation?

No. Our courses are based on improving your real-life communication skills as fast as possible. For exam preparation we recommend you find a teacher or school that specialises in such exams. If you're interested in real-life improvements in lessons that get straight to the point then we recommend learning with us!

Do you also have 90min individual lessons?

Jacob's individual classes are organised into 60min blocks in order to keep simple scheduling, but for special cases we can arrange 90min classes if it works with the schedule. 90min classes are simply 1.5x the cost of 60min classes.

Do you teach children?

No. Our courses are designed for adults and we have no classes for children or plans to teach children in the future.

Do you teach in-company classes too?

We offer in-company classes on a case-by-case basis, with customised prices based on number of students, location and lesson type.

I paid for a package but now I'm going on holiday

If you buy an individual lesson package and then go on holiday we can offer you online lessons while you're on holiday at the same lesson time. If you bought a group package you will lose those lessons.

Do the stated prices include VAT/DPH?

Languages With A Twist is not a VAT-payer, so the stated prices are the final prices you pay, with no extra taxes or VAT added to the invoice.

Can I get an invoice for the lessons?

Yes - in fact all students receive an invoice for their lessons.

Can I pay for lessons through my company?

Yes, that is fine - just give us the company details to add to the invoice.

Can I pay through benefits points?

Not currently.

How good is Jacob's Czech?

Jacob has been learning Czech for ten years and is often complimented by Czechs on his level. If declension didn't exist his level would be advanced. As declension exists, he makes a lot of declension mistakes but has a practically fluent level for day to day communication.

Not Sure Which Level You're At?

Neither is anyone, and guessing wrong wastes a semester. Send a message and we'll arrange a free call to check your level and point you at the right course.
