Fwd: Teaching of Czech language

[Neil Bermel]

This message is directed to anyone teaching Czech in the United
States, with apologies for cross-posting.   It would be greatly
appreciated if you could send the Embassy the information they
request below.

IATC-NAATC would also be grateful if you could copy us on your reply;
we do not have up-to-date information on Czech programs and would
find it very useful to have, as we frequently receive requests asking
for referrals to Czech courses.  (We will not disclose enrollment
figures. )

Best regards,

Neil Bermel
President, IATC-NAATC (International Association of Teachers of Czech)
