How packs work

1. Pick your situation

Each pack is the Czech for one real moment: the flat viewing, the doctor's appointment, the foreign police. Or the words you'll meet most often.

2. It goes straight into your drill

Everything is added to your own list and mixed into your daily drill with spaced repetition. It's not a PDF you read once.

3. Be ready by your date

Drill for a few minutes a day and walk in already knowing what you'll hear and what to say.

Who it's for

Anyone setting up life in Czechia, whether you’ve just arrived or are still getting by with help
