Why Czech?
Four reasons to take Czech classes
Live in the Heart of Europe
Prague is one of Europe's most beautiful and affordable cities, with a booming expat and tech scene. Czech fluency transforms you from a tourist to a true resident.
Master a Rich Slavic Grammar
Czech has seven grammatical cases and a sound system that includes the unique ř phoneme found in no other language. It's a rewarding intellectual challenge.
Read Kafka's World in Its Language
Kafka wrote in German, but Czech shaped his worldview. Czech literature — Kundera, Čapek, Havel — explores absurdity and freedom with unmatched wit.
Unlock Central European History
From the Holy Roman Empire to the Velvet Revolution, Czech lands have been at the center of Europe's most pivotal moments. The language opens primary sources spanning centuries.

Czech in Los Angeles
Ahoj! Welcome to Strommen.
With a Strommen teacher you will speak Czech on the first class. A private session is more effective, efficient and convenient than enrolling in a group class. Your Strommen teacher will be a perfect fit for your needs and learning style. We equate 10 hours of private classes with a full semester in a traditional college or group class.
Scheduling is convenient (7 days a week, any time of day), and you can start right away. You can easily reschedule, so you will never miss a class and get left behind. In a private class you do the speaking. There are no other students to hide behind or take up all of the teacher’s time. Your teacher will make sure you progress at your pace, rather than the pace of the best (or worst) student in the class. Strommen further enriches your learning experience with free podcasts, videos, online resources, Strommen Language Meetups around LA, group classes, workshops and even annual immersion trips.
Getting started is easy, just fill out our student application or call and we will help choose the best teacher for you. We decide on a specific teacher based on a number of criteria including a professional gut-feeling. We will make sure it is the perfect match. As a student, your Strommen teacher will be highly dedicated to you. Many of our teachers meet at cafes, at their home office, or anywhere you like. We believe it’s fundamentally wrong to really learn a language from a text book, audio CD, or computer program. It’s time to get away from the computer, grab a coffee and meet your Strommen teacher to have a real conversation!

Czech class FAQ
What is the best way to learn Czech?
Work with a native-speaking tutor who can explain the grammar clearly and correct your pronunciation from the start. Czech grammar is complex, and trying to learn it from a textbook alone leads to a lot of confusion about cases and verb forms. A tutor shows you the patterns and helps you internalize them through conversation rather than memorization. Supplement your lessons with Czech podcasts (CzechClass101 and Radio Prague have learner-friendly content), Czech films, and reading practice. Even learning to read a menu or navigate street signs builds useful pattern recognition.
How long does it take to learn Czech?
Czech is a Category IV language according to the FSI, meaning about 1,100 class hours for professional proficiency — the same difficulty tier as Russian and Polish. For conversational ability, expect about 9 to 18 months with consistent study and regular practice. The case system and verb aspects take time to internalize. Heritage speakers or people who already know another Slavic language will progress significantly faster. The early stages feel slow, but once the grammar framework clicks, vocabulary acquisition speeds up because Czech word formation is highly systematic.
Is Czech hard for English speakers?
Yes, genuinely. It's one of the more challenging European languages for English speakers. Seven grammatical cases mean every noun, adjective, and pronoun changes form depending on its role in the sentence. Verb conjugation is extensive. And some of the sounds — particularly the ř, a simultaneous trill and fricative — are physically difficult for non-native speakers to produce. That said, Czech spelling is almost perfectly phonetic (once you learn the diacritics), word order is more flexible than English, and the grammar, while complex, is highly regular. Hard doesn't mean impossible. It means you need a good teacher and some patience.
Can I take Czech classes online?
Yes. Czech is rarely taught in person in LA — you won't find it at most language schools or community colleges. Online tutoring is the most reliable way to study it, and our format is built for it: private video lessons with a native Czech speaker, scheduled around your availability. The one-on-one setting is especially valuable for Czech because the pronunciation and grammar require personalized feedback that you simply can't get from a group class or an app.
