I'm a linguist, a teacher, a mentor and a language councellor.
I speak Czech, French, English, and Lithuanian.
I specialise in teaching Czech to adult and teenage foreigners of various language and cultural backgrounds. I especially love to work with high levels (C1 and C2).
I work as a mentor for teachers of Czech for foreigners, I offer specialised consultations, organise workshops and courses and prepare methodological materials.
I write screenplays for television and I teach stylistics and writing.

”Can studying grammar be interesting and fun? Indeed it can, if you study with Romana! Romana is energetic and patient, she methodically adjusts the class to meet my individual abilities, and presents the information in a productive and informative way. She not only inspires me to deepen my knowledge in the peculiarities of the Czech language, but also draws incredibly helpful parallels with my native language. Even though I have only been studying for a few months, I feel like I have made huge progress, therefore I am sincerely happy I have an opportunity to be Romana’s student!“

”It’s a great fun to learn Czech with Romana. She knows how to make one not only to learn language but also to enjoy the learning process. She brings a special energy and motivation during each lesson. The teaching method that Romana is using keeps us active and engaged during the class.“
Mariam, Armenia
”Romana always starts the class with a lot of enthusiasm and energy which makes it not only more productive but also fun and enjoyable. She encourages us to speak Czech as much as possible during the class and this trains the mind to make the language more natural in everyday situations. Her methods work for me very well because they combine theoretical explanations with games and activities, creating both an understanding of how the Czech language works and a feeling for how all those rules should be applied in real life.“

“Romana is an excellent teacher, she always comes prepared for the lesson
with interesting materials, she always speaks Czech with us and she is so nice and happy in each lesson.
I really recommend her to make your Czech better.”
Jennifer, USA
”Romana is a consummately professional teacher and has a great deal of passion for language instruction. She is always impeccably prepared and unflaggingly enthusiastic in our lessons. She tailors lessons to fit my personal needs and interests, which keeps me engaged and motivated. In our lessons, we work with a variety of interesting print and video media resources as well as standard educational materials. She has nurtured my ability to express myself in Czech–something I wasn’t even aware I could do until I began studying with her! I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
Emmeline, England/France
” Romana is a wonderful teacher and I would whole heartedly recommend her (and have already done so several times). During our lessons we always speak Czech and she uses a combination of exercises to teach me in the most practical way, also focusing on content that will be most useful for me in my day to day life. She is unfailingly patient and professional but also fun, and we often have a laugh during our lessons. She is clearly a talented and passionate linguist (and able to draw useful comparisons for me between Czech and French/English), and as a result she motivates me to learn as well.”
Czech is logical.
You don't need talent.
All you need is to think and to try hard!
