Sign up for summer English courses

Dear students,

exam periods are traditionally one of the most challenging parts of the academic year. However, you can make it more pleasant for yourself, for example, by talking to the authors of the unique language corrector Opravidlo. And if you don't have plans for the summer yet, you should not miss the article presenting the summer offer of the MU Faculty of Arts Language School.

Have a pleasant reading
