HOW IT WORKS

What Lessons Look Like

Say goodbye to boring lessons where you go around in circles and don't make real progress. Get ready for fun, conversational lessons full of laughs, with a clear progression plan to get you speaking perfectly ASAP.

Super Conversational

We believe in talking, fixing, and talking some more! Our classes are full of fun conversation, correction, and learning practical new things - but always in a fun atmosphere where you'll never feel scared to talk or judged for making mistakes!

Lots Of Correction & Revision

Czech's say that "revision is the mother of wisdom" and we strongly agree! In our lessons you will always revise things you've studied at least a few times, and be corrected whenever you make mistakes on something we've covered.

One Expert Teacher

All our English course are taught by our founder, Jacob, who has been teaching Czechs since 2014, speaks Czech himself, and is an expert on both English and Czech grammar, so you can rest assured that you're in good hands!

Clear Path To Fluency

You can't cheat at learning a language, but you can optimise. We've spent twelve years obsessively refining our system to ensure it covers everything you need for real life, ordered according to priority, so that as long as you follow the system step by step you're guaranteed to speak conversationally.

Made For Czechs

Our English courses are custom-made for Czechs, with explanations of how things work in both languages and translations of examples. And as Jacob also speaks Czech he can give immediate translations of new words and explain why Czechs make the mistakes they make!

Keep Your Lesson Notes

In each class, Jacob takes notes throughout the lesson of your mistakes (and how to fix them), new vocab and phrases, and notes of the new topic of the week. All these notes go into a shared Google Doc that you have access to, so you can see what you've learnt in each lesson!

Meet Your Teacher

All our courses are taught by our founder, Jacob, who has been teaching Czechs since 2014 and knows every mistake you'll make before you make it!

One Expert British Teacher

Jacob has spent the last twelve years making our language learning system - firstly for English, and later on for Czech and Spanish - during which time he learnt a lot about how to learn a language - the learnings from which all made it into our current courses.

Speaks Czech & Spanish

Thanks to also speaking Czech and Spanish, Jacob knows what it's like to learn a language, and knows all the differences between English and Czech, which really helps as he can show you exactly how English works differently to Czech. It is also useful being able to give accurate translations of vocab and phrases!

 Founder Of Top-Rated Language School

Jacob is the founder and ex-CEO of Speak Like Me, now the best-rated corporate language school in Prague, which was acquired in 2025, allowing Jacob to put all his time into making Languages With A Twist the best place in the world to learn languages!

12 Years Experience

Jacob has been teaching and learning languages since 2014, during which time he's taught everyone from grandmothers to CEO's, trained over a hundred teachers, written multiple grammar books, and come across all the issues and questions you'll likely have when trying to learn a language.

Classes For Every Level

Whether you're a total beginner or extremely advanced, we have classes for you! Thanks to Jacob being a native English speaker who also speaks Czech, he can teach all levels!

Beginner

Our beginner courses get you to a basic (but very practical!) conversational level in English, by only focusing on the English you will use all the time every single day in real-life conversations.

Intermediate

Our intermediate courses get you from good to great - by brushing up on the grammar most intermediates find hard, fixing common Czech mistakes, and learning lots of practical vocab!

Advanced

Our advanced courses are just that - super advanced! This level isn't about fixing mistakes (as there shouldn't be any!), it's about learning to express yourself like a native speaker in every situation.
Our Semester System

Learn In 12-Week Semesters

All our classes are taught in 12-week semesters where you learn specific content in each semester as part of a long-term progression plan. You cannot join a semester mid-way through a course, so the soonest you can start is the next upcoming semester.

February - April

Spring Semester

Our English course consists of three levels - Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Each level has three sub-levels (e.g. Intermediate I-III). In one semester you will cover one of those sub-levels, meaning you can learn a whole level in just one year! 

June - August

Summer Semester

When you join a semester, you also get access to the video course for that level so you can study at home and come to class prepared for the topic of the week! For example, if you are studying Intermediate I, you will also get the video course with all the topics covered in that semester, along with quizzes and homework!

October - December

Autumn Semester

Our autumn semester ends the week before Christmas and is the perfect way to end the year, with hot chocolates on hand in the office to keep you warm! If you studied every semester in the year you are now ready to go up to the next level next year - congrats!

Our students say our courses

#make sense | #are awesome | #motivate me | #actually work | #make me laugh

Very satisfied with the summer group course led by Jacob. There are only 3 of us in the group, so everyone gets a chance to speak, the 90 minute lesson goes by like water every week and most importantly it's fun!
ANNA VERICHOVÁ
The best English lessons I've ever had. I enjoyed the lessons, they unlearn past mistakes, the classes are fun and Jacob is a great teacher. I wish I could go more than once a week!
EVA PŘIBYLOVÁ
What can I say, this best language course I've ever taken. After a few weeks I see improvements in myself that didn't show up after months in other courses. The classes don't bore me either.

Frequently asked questions

How do online classes work?

Our online classes take place on Google Meet. After sign up for a semester and have chosen a lesson time you will receive a weekly calendar event which contains the link to the lesson - there's nothing for you to do as the event will show up in your calendar automatically!

Where do in-person classes take place?

In-person group classes take place in our modern office in the centre of Prague (next to Můstek metro station). Individual lessons can take place in our office or at a pre-arranged place in central Prague (potential extra travel fee if more than 15mins travel).

How does the semester system work? Do I have to buy 12 lessons?

We organise our courses - both group and individual - in 12-week semesters. This is because our progression system is based on 12 lessons, so you will learn one module in 12 weeks, then the next module etc.

Secondly, as Jacob is the teacher of all our classes, this gives him a clear 12 weeks of work, followed by a short holiday, then the next 12 weeks!

How does paying for lessons work?

Both group and individual semesters are paid for in full up front at least two weeks before the start of the semester. This guarantees your spot in the semester. 

We do not offer the option to pay in instalments or at the end of each month.

Are online lessons cheaper than in-person lessons?

Yes! Our online semesters are 1 000,-CZK cheaper than our in-person semesters, so you can learn the same content for a discount!

How do cancellations work?

Group Lessons

Because group lessons run on a fixed schedule, any missed classes unfortunately can’t be refunded or rescheduled. We really encourage you to attend as many sessions as possible so you can get the most out of the course.

Individual Lessons

If you’re unable to attend your regular lesson time, you’re very welcome to contact Jacob to see if it’s possible to reschedule. This might be to another time during the same week, or by having two lessons the following week. While we’ll always do our best to help, alternative times can’t be guaranteed. If no suitable availability is possible, the lesson may be missed. When you book a 12-week semester, you’re reserving a dedicated weekly time slot for that entire period. This ensures consistency and availability, but it also means that missed lessons can’t always be made up.

I paid for an individual in-person semester but now I'm going on holiday

If you pay for a individual in-person semester and then decide to go on holiday for 2 weeks we can offer you online lessons while you're on holiday (at the same lesson time). 

If this does not work then you will unfortunately lose those lessons.
