Preparatory courses of Czech language for foreigners and preparation for entrance exams for medical, natural science and technical faculties. 

High-quality post-secondary courses in Mariánské Lázně.

Ceremonial end of the second year of the AMAR basic course

On Thursday, May 30, 2024, the closing ceremony of the 2023/2024 academic year took place in Mariánské Lázně on the Small Stage of the Chopin House. Foreign students of the basic course received CERTIFICATES on completion of the course. There were tears too, but this time they were tears of happiness. But the most important thing is ahead of them, to make use of their acquired knowledge during the entrance exams to the faculties. We wish them much success!

An interview with the successful student Sofia Lipina, who studied at the AMAR school in Mariánské Lázně in 2023/24. After a one-year course, she successfully passed the exams for the Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Faculty in Brno for the field of veterinary medicine and for the Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology.

1· How long were you in the Czech Republic before you started attending AMAR courses?

I came to the Czech Republic for the AMAR courses, I had never been to the Czech Republic before but I wanted to study here.

2· Is Czech a difficult language for you?

Surprisingly, Czech was not a problem for me. This language is similar with my mother tongue. My Czech teachers Mrs. Černá and Mrs. Rollová explained all the material clearly.

3· What was and is the hardest thing in Czech for you?

Speaking, listening and reading were not difficult for me, but the most difficult part was grammar, which is difficult in all languages.

4· Which professional subject do you like best: biology, chemistry or physics?

My favorite subject is biology, which contains topics useful and interesting for life.

5· Which of these subjects was difficult for you in terms of a foreign language?

Biology was the most difficult for me. This subject contains a lot of terms. And there is also a huge amount of information about various topics in biology.

6· Were you afraid of the entrance exams? Why? Language barriers or some professional subject?

Yes, I was afraid of entrance exams because exams are always stressful for me.

7· Would you take the exams without a year's preparation at AMAR?

I wouldn't have taken the entrance exams without a preparatory course, because I didn't know Czech at all, and the courses also helped me learn professional subjects in Czech. I also learned information that we did not learn in school.
