Abstract

This paper presents the multilingual website mluvtecesky.net, currently available in ten language versions: Czech, Arabic, Chinese, English, German, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak and Spanish. The website offers an online course of general language Czech consisting of 30 units (levels A1 and A2) as well as a detailed course of medical Czech, which has been reviewed by medical experts. This innovative language course contains 37 units and is divided into three main modules: Internal Propaedeutics, Internal Medicine and Further Clinical Departments. Completely new interactive materials are accompanied by over seven hours of audio recordings, a useful dictionary, a grammar summary, a discussion forum, and invaluable information about the Czech Republic (culture, history, and geography). The website was developed primarily for healthcare professionals who need to use Czech in their professional life. However, it has become an integral part of teaching Czech to foreign medical students at Masaryk University. The website is user-friendly and free of charge.
