🇨🇿 The best tutors for learning Czech

Eliška's team built slowczech around one problem — foreigners who understand Czech on paper but freeze in a shop — so the podcast (close to 300 episodes and still weekly in August 2026) speaks slowly about ordinary life, and the tutoring and immersion programmes push output from the first lesson. There is a free starter kit and the whole podcast archive costs nothing. Self-paced courses, group immersion and one-to-one lessons are paid, and the content stops around B1.

One-on-one video lessons from roughly $5–30/hr depending on the language and the teacher's credentials. It is the single fastest way to get real speaking practice, and the reason most self-study plans stall is that they skip this step. Community tutors are cheap conversation partners; professional teachers are worth it if you want structure, homework and error correction.

100,000+ tutors across 120+ subjects, with a free replacement if your first tutor is a bad fit. The main structural difference from italki is that Preply pushes weekly lesson subscriptions and takes a large commission from tutors, which some learners consider a reason to prefer italki. Worth comparing side by side for your language — prices, availability and tutor quality differ per market rather than per platform.
