Erasmus in Ostrava is not only about trips, FILLUPs or parties. You can learn something with our international students, for example their language. We organize CatchUps where you can learn or teach languages. We have Czech, Spanish, Italian, Turkish and others. We talked about it with our teachers.

But first… What is CatchUp?

CatchUp is informal language class lead by Erasmus students for students. However do not expect your ordinary language class you know from school – CatchUps are filled with fun and games while at the same time, you are improving your language skills. So if you are interested to learn to smoother your English, learn to swear in Italian, order a beer in German, say “I love you” in French and tell the boy/girl, he/she has nice eyes in Russian, join CatchUp!
