Kurz slovenčiny

Slovak language course

What does “Kurz slovenčiny” mean in Slovakia?

Slovak Language Course is a course of the Slovak language for foreigners that helps you settle in Slovakia faster: find a job, communicate in institutions, and feel more confident. Slovak is relatively easy for Ukrainians, but pronunciation, stress, and grammar still need practice.

Where to Find Courses

  • Free or subsidized courses from NGOs and cities (often for people with temporary protection).
  • Language schools and universities — summer and evening courses.
  • Online courses and conversation clubs.

After the course, you can usually take an exam and get a certificate of your level (for example, A2, B1) — this will be useful for work or an application for citizenship. The availability and funding of courses depend on the city and organization, so check current offers locally and do not be afraid to combine several learning formats. For children, language support is often organized by the school itself, separate from adult courses. The schedule and duration of classes depend on the level and intensity of the group, so choose a format that fits your schedule.

Important. A certificate of Slovak language level (A2, B1, etc.) is often requested by employers and is needed for citizenship. Choose a course that prepares you to officially take the exam.
