Fwd: Teaching of Czech language

Fri Aug 9 13:41:47 UTC 2002

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska teaches Czech.  I'm
not sure if it's every semester or not.  I'm sending our Czech translator
your message also for her to reply.

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)
