School Details - Prague Evropska

---

The school is a dynamic private language school based in Prague 6, specializing in the Trinity Certificate in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) courses. There is a very nice park right in front of the school and a tram stop on the other side of the building.

There are 14 computers at the school solely for trainees use, all of them with free internet access. Trainees can also bring their own laptops and hook them up on the school's wi-fi network. There are two digital copy machines and VCRs, DVD, digital Dictaphones and tape recorders.

There is cofee, tee and drinking water provided for free for all trainees.

There is also a food shop right on the floor above and an EUREST restaurant next door. For students who pay for 'all inclusive accommodation' a food card will be supplied for that restaurant.

Prague
Prague is for many a place of weekend escapes, magnificent medieval architecture, traditional folklore and remarkably cheap beer. With it's stunning location straddling the Vltava River and set in rolling Bohemian countryside, the city is beauty, mysticism and romance all rolled into one. As capital of the Czech Republic it is also oozing with history and brimming with future promise, as communist rule becomes slowly forgotten and young Czechs go about their increasingly bustling city life. You can still get lost in a maze of courtyards and cobbled alleys, and you can still explore an endless number of churches and cathedrals, but behind those old stone walls you'll also hear the clink of glasses, laughter over a post-work drink, and haunting melodies floating from some front-room piano. Reason enough to spend more than a weekend here, and find out what it's really all about.
