The Czech FAST course is designed to help students acquire the communications skills necessary to deal with the most common social and everyday situations encountered.
Designed as an 8-week introductory course, the FAST course does not attempt to present a systematic and comprehensive introduction to Czech grammar. Grammar is instead presented in a very elementary form to help gain some understanding of "what is happening."
The course is divided into 12 lessons, plus an introductory lesson. The lessons cover the following topics: introductions, asking directions, public transportation, using the telephone, at a restaurant, shopping, at a hotel, culture, car trouble, at work, car accident, and dealing with servants.
The learning activities for most units are: cultural notes, dialogues, exercises, vocabulary, and language notes.
