This guy, in fact, was under the wing of the head tutor at a dedicated language school. A year of one-on-one tutoring. Plus, he seemed to absorb everything like a sponge. An incredible guy in my opinion. At the end of the year of study, one of my Czech friends actually thought the guy was Czech but could not place from which city he came. There is, in fact, a quite good one-year-long university course in Prague, but I have met very few non-Slavic students from it who reached anything approaching fluency by the end of the course. The exceptions were people who spent all their spare time mingling with Czechs and speaking only in Czech - and even then they were stumbling at what I would call upper-intermediate level. For most folks, C1 level fluency in Czech takes many years. This is why the three month target of the OP is so strikingly ambitious.

I don't think it's that ambitious. C1 is not that great. Edited by zerothinking on 24 June 2009 at 1:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I take my hat off to you, since I found C1 to be very challenging - and certainly a major leap up from B2. Having just done a rough tally I reckon it took me around 2,000 hours of study to reach C1 in Czech. Admittedly, I am only of modest abilities. It is certainly humbling, though, to come across non-Slavic people who found Czech C1 to not be an ambitious target, and to be achievable in a very short time. You have my deepest respect. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Apparently there's an FSI basic course knocking around on the Internet -not just the FAST
course. I don't like using FSI to actually learn a language, but I think the drills can be very useful for polishing up the basics. 1 person has voted this message useful |
