What is it about?
One of the most urgent needs of Ukrainian families remaining in Slovakia is the opportunity to actively communicate and get along in Slovak at work, in a store, on the street or at school.
Therefore, we will try to find you a local Buddy teacher in your city who will meet with you 4 times a month for a conversational Slovak language lesson. Both beginners and intermediate level can apply. You don't pay for lessons, they are free. Nobody pays the volunteer teacher for this activity; he does it as a charity to help Ukrainians.
We have prepared practical teaching materials for you, thanks to which Baddick the teacher will be able to teach classes, even if you speak different languages. Using pictures, simple sentences and questions, Buddy Teacher will help you say your first full sentences and short dialogues in Slovak.
We prepare educational materials in such a way that if you are interested, you will have the opportunity to study languages in tandem. Therefore, you will also be able to teach your Slovak Buddy teacher Russian or Ukrainian. Of course, this is not a condition, it depends only on your mutual agreement.

How would this happen?
- You fill out a short registration form HERE.
- When we find a teacher friend in your city/region, we will send him your Viber contact that you provided in the registration form, and he will contact you.
- Slovak Buddy Teacher will contact you via the Viber application and arrange your first Slovak language lesson. You will meet in person, in a cafe, tea room or other place where you can concentrate and hear clearly.
- Together with teacher Buddy you will have 4 lessons over 1 month, that is, ideally 1 hour per week. If you are interested, you can continue studying.
- After a month, we will ask you to provide a short review. Information about how the lesson went, how you collaborated with Buddy, and how you perceive the educational material is very valuable and important for us. Thanks to them, we can continue to improve and promote this project.
