hi, this is Onur from istanbul-Turkey.i am very interested in learning czech but there isnt any opportunity in here.so ı will be glad if someone can inform me about the fees and the duration of the courses in prague.and also i want to know what kind of visa do i need.(tourist or student visa?)
Hi Onur, Welcome to the boards! I studied Czech at the State Language School (now called the City of Prague Language School). You can find more information about them at http://www.sjs.cz/foreign.html. The main university in Prague, Charles University also has some Czech classes, including a summer language study program (http://www.ujop.cuni.cz/index.php?lang=en&page=kursy_cestiny_cizinci). One of our community members described her experiences in the summer program in this post. We have a section with embassy and visa information. I'm not sure what type of visa you will need. I suggest checking with the Czech embassy in Ankara. Jeff Edit: 02-Feb-05 - updated links
Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your reply.the links you gave me really helped me to answer the questions in my mind. but i still have one question which ı couldn't find the answer on the net.is it possible to work and earn money while ı am studying at the school?what do the laws say in CR about this? yours sincerely Onur
Hi Onur, I am not sure what the laws are in the Czech Republic regarding working while studying. I think the best thing would be to e-mail some schools you're interested in and ask them about that. Maybe they know about or could help arrange an internship or part-time work. Jeff
Are student visas granted to study at foreign language schools? ie: If I were to take a Czech course, would that be sufficient enough to get a student visa? Or are there special requirements such as university enrollment or a minimum number of credit hours?
hi dear from Turkey i am realy interested to know what you do becouse i am also search for czech language courses in with fee best wishes
