Open Courses of Slovak Language

 The IOM Migration Information Centre (MIC) organizes Open Courses of Slovak Language for foreigners, which are available for:  

• citizens of non-EU/EEA countries who have temporary, permanent or tolerated stay in Slovakia, including applicants for temporary refuge and persons granted temporary refuge in Slovakia ("departees")
• EU citizens with a university degree  
• foreign university students studying at university in Slovakia 

Open Courses of Slovak Language organized by MIC are not certified language courses.

They serve as a first contact with the Slovak language and most of the groups are recommended for absolute beginners (A1 level).  

• They are free of charge.
• They are intended for adult participants who have not attended these courses in the past (the courses are not intended for children).
• They are taught using interactive teaching methods, during which the emphasis is mainly on conversation and focus on learning the basics of the Slovak language in real situations and everyday communication (e.g. in the grocery store, at the bank, at work, with friends, at the doctor's office, etc.).
• They are focused on expanding daily life vocabulary and covering basic grammar.
