I have improved my pronunciation and intonation and learned tips to improve my speech, and she even teaches me how to breathe to have a better tone and relax when speaking.

I married into a Czech family with little cultural awareness outside of what I had learned through…read moremy in laws and only had taken Romance languages in high school. I stared taking adult Czech language classes on and off and both times Klára then Kristýna had both been incredibly instructive, patient, and inviting. It can be humbling being a beginner but I always felt safe making mistakes and struggling and learning with the pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. I had taken a semester of Latin previously which helped me be ready for declensions. It was also a great way to learn more about my in law's culture and traditions. The school also puts on a lot of events with artists, historians, and the community at large to celebrate the Czech history and culture in Chicagoland and abroad. Everyone I've met is a fantastic steward of the culture and we're lucky to have them here. We'll be sending our 4 and 6 year olds there in the fall! It's reassuring to see their first cohort of their youngest students not just sticking with it but having really enjoyed their many years together learning.
