First-Year Czech II

Undergraduate / Graduate

The second course in a three-quarter sequence of first-year Czech introduces students to the Czech language and culture. Students will learn the fundamentals of Czech grammar and a wide range of everyday vocabulary with an emphasis on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Videos, music, film, and literature will be used in class to practice language skills, as well as expose students to Czech culture. This course is intended for students who would like to communicate in Czech and/or to use the language for reading and research purposes. The first-year Czech program prepares students for the College Language Competency Exam, for continued study of Czech in second-year courses, and for study or travel abroad in the Czech Republic.
