What Lessons Look Like
Say goodbye to boring lessons where you go around in circles and don't make real progress. Get ready for fun, conversational lessons full of laughs, with a clear progression plan to get you speaking perfectly ASAP.
Super Conversational
We believe in lessons full of conversation, so you have the time to use everything you've learnt, get corrected on things you've studied, and most importantly have fun speaking English in a friendly atmosphere where you never feel scared to talk!
Lots Of Correction & Revision
They say that "practice makes perfect" and we strongly agree! In our lessons you will revise things you've studied at least a few times, and be corrected when you make mistakes on something we've covered, until you start using it properly!
Experienced British Teacher
All our English courses are taught by Jacob, who has been teaching English since 2014, speaks Czech and Spanish, is an expert on how to explain complicated topics in a simple way, and knows how to make learning a language feel fun and natural.
Clear Path To Fluency
You can't cheat at learning a language, but you can optimise. We've spent twelve years obsessively refining our system to ensure it covers everything you need for real life, ordered according to priority, so that as long as you follow the system step by step you're guaranteed to speak perfectly.
Made For Czech Speakers
In every lesson you take one more step towards being practically perfect in English, following our long-term plan, where everything is tailor-made for Czechs and organised so you learn the most important things first so you make the most efficient progress possible!
Keep Your Lesson Notes
In each class, Jacob takes notes throughout the lesson of your mistakes (and how to fix them), new vocab and phrases, and notes of the new topic of the week. All these notes go into a shared Google Doc that you have access to, so you can see what you've learnt in each lesson!

All our English courses are taught by our founder, Jacob, who has been teaching English to Czechs since 2014 and is great at explaining topics in simple terms for everyday people.
Expert British Teacher
Since 2014, Jacob has taught English to hundreds of Czech people, trained over a hundred teachers, written two English grammar books, founded the best-rated corporate language school in the Czech Republic, and perfected the explanations and examples of how every English topic works differently from Czech.
Speaks Czech
Thanks to having spent the last decade learning Czech to a conversationally fluent level, Jacob knows what it's like to learn a language, is able to teach Czechs of any level, and has a deep understanding of why Czechs make the English mistakes they do - and can fix them ASAP!
Founder Of Top-Rated Language School
Jacob is the founder and ex-CEO of Speak Like Me, now the best-rated corporate language school in Prague, which was acquired in 2025, allowing Jacob to put all his time into making Languages With A Twist the best place in the world to learn languages!

Choose Your Level
Classes For Every Level
Whether you're a total beginner or extremely advanced, we have classes for you! Thanks to Jacob being a native English speaker who also speaks Czech he can teach all levels!
Beginner
Our beginner courses get you from nothing to a good conversational level in English, by only focusing on the English you will use all the time every single day in real-life conversations.
CurriculumIntermediate
Our intermediate courses get you from good to great - by brushing up on the grammar most intermediates find hard, fixing common mistakes, and learning lots of practical vocab!
CurriculumAdvanced
Our advanced courses are just that - super advanced! This level isn't about fixing mistakes (as there shouldn't be any!), it's about learning to express yourself like a native speaker in every situation.

“Very satisfied with the summer group course led by Jacob. There are only 3 of us in the group, so everyone gets a chance to speak, the 90 minute lesson goes by like water every week and most importantly it's fun!”
“The best English lessons I've ever had. I enjoyed the lessons, they unlearn past mistakes, the classes are fun and Jacob is a great teacher. I wish I could go more than once a week!”
“What can I say, this best language course I've ever taken. After a few weeks I see improvements in myself that didn't show up after months in other courses. The classes don't bore me either.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Are individual class trial lessons free?
For our 6 and 12 individual lesson packages we offer trial lessons. If you have the trial lesson and like the class and decide to buy a package, that trial lesson counts as your first paid lesson from the package. If you don't like the lesson and don't want to buy a package then the trial lesson is free!
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 Žižkov, Prague (right by the Lipanská tram stop, about 10 minutes from Wenceslas Square). 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 (FCE, CAE etc)?
No. Our courses are based on improving your real-life communication skills as fast as possible. Exams such as FCE and CAE are very specific and studying for them is as much about learning how to answer questions in the way they want as it is about your actual level of English. 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.
