Annotation -
Reading and grammatical-lexical analysis of texts with a professional focus. Exercises focus on the systematic consolidation of Czech grammar and vocabulary, as well as on the development of communicative competences within the C1 level of the CEFR. Conversation deepens skills in communication with patients and medical staff. Presentations focus on the ability to create effective presentations on professional topics and to speak in front of an audience.
