Days:
THURSDAY
Time:

Duration:
90 min
Date:
January 21 - April 22, 2027
This course is designed for students who have completed A2 Slovak and are ready to take their first steps at B1 level.
At B1, you will move beyond basic everyday communication and learn to express yourself in greater detail and with more independence. You will practise longer conversations, describe experiences and events, explain your opinions, discuss plans and talk about a wider range of familiar topics.
You will expand your vocabulary and start working with more advanced grammar and sentence structures, while strengthening your knowledge of A1 and A2 grammar and learning to use it more accurately and naturally.
Lessons focus on speaking and practical use of Slovak, with grammar and vocabulary introduced in context and actively practised through conversations, discussions and everyday situations.
We use our own teaching materials, exercises and speaking activities rather than following a traditional textbook in class. Everything covered during your lessons – grammar explanations, vocabulary, examples, exercises, notes and homework – is collected in a shared online document that remains available throughout the course.
You will study in a mini-group of 3–6 students, ensuring plenty of speaking time, individual attention and an interactive learning environment.
The course includes a final review and progress feedback session, where you will review key material and receive individual feedback from your teacher on your progress and recommended next steps.

Learning a language is a journey, not a single course.
This Start B1 course is the first stage of the B1 level and is designed for students who have already completed A2.
Our courses follow a structured CEFR learning sequence based on the Krížom-krážom curriculum developed by Comenius University in Bratislava. We use it as a roadmap to ensure that grammar, vocabulary and communication skills are covered in a logical order.
One Slovak Friends course typically covers approximately 3–4 learning units, depending on the course format, frequency and pace of the group. Completing one course therefore represents progress within B1, rather than completion of the entire level.
Your learning journey may look like this:
… → Lower A2 → Mid A2 → Upper A2 → Start B1 → Lower B1 → Mid B1 → Upper B1 → Start B2 → …
When your course ends, your group can continue with the next B1 course from exactly where you finished. You enrol in one course at a time, so there is no need to commit to the entire B1 level in advance.
If you need to reach a particular CEFR level by a specific date – for example, for an exam, work or university admission – a standard course once or twice a week may not be intensive enough. Contact us and we can recommend a more intensive study option.
