Jmenuju se Honza. Angličtina je můj koníček a ve chvílích volna se snažím pomáhat ostatním lidem zlepšit jejich angličtinu.
Prošel jsem mezinárodní zkouškou CAE (Cambridge Advance English) a jsem držitelem certifikátu C1 (podle jednotného evropského referečního rámce).
Hlavním koníčkem je angličtina a s ní spojené aktivity, jako např. čtení knih v originále, sledování filmů a seriálů v původním znění. Dále mám pak rád cestování a sport (kolo, brusle, ping-pong).

Two weeks at Hastings language school with Student Agency
17. 6. 2013
The end of the last year's holiday I spent two weeks studying English in Hastings. It had been my third time in this city. The reason I went there repeatedly was simply because I always liked this place and specially the HELC school. Every time I was there I enjoyed it greatly and made many new fantastic friends. Additionally everything was smoothly organised by Student Agency. Even though, it took me quite a while to finish the report on my stay, I finally made it.

New York - 3 týdny angličtiny se Student Agency
4. 5. 2012
Last year I spent three weeks in New York. It was a studying holiday and my goal was both to explore this amazing city and to improve my English skills at the same time. After I got back I wrote a report on my stay there and I decided to place it on this website because I believe some people might be interested in the experience I gained (school, accommodation, transport, etc.). It is all in Czech.
My first teaching lesson
17. 4. 2012
Yesterday, I had my first "teaching" lesson. It came all of a sudden. My teacher - Hanka - called me half an hour before the beginning of the lesson and told me she was in trouble. She wasn't feeling well and the other teacher - Glenn - was sick, too. There were two possibilites: either to call the lesson off or find someone else to step in. Hanka asked me to do her a favour and organize the lesson for her. Even though I felt honored, I wasn't sure whether I should take it or not - it was at such a short notice. And how did I do? Well, at least it wasn't fiasco, I hope.
