In the minor Czech you will acquire basic auditory, writing, and reading skills, and practise your conversation skills.
Doing a language minor takes a considerable amount of effort. Besides attending the intensive lectures, you will also spend ample time on self-study and on the preparation of tests related to vocabulary, listening skills and grammar, even if you have prior knowledge of the language.
