It also encourages participation in Czech community events, institutions and family life. No prior knowledge of Czech is required, as most coursework is in English. Language instruction during the first month of the program is taught intensively to help students develop the language skills and confidence to live and study in, and integrate themselves into, the Czech community.

Setting Description:

The castled city of Prague has awakened from a 40-year slumber behind the Iron Curtain and is reclaiming its reputation as one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. This 1,000 year-old capital of Czech Republic looks much like it did when Mozart, Kafka, Rilke and other members of the cultural and intellectual elite of Bohemia were drawn to the cafes, theaters, salons and studios that flourished among the cobblestones and gothic spires of Old World Prague.
