Read what our summer course student JUDr. Barbora Tomková said about us :)

"I am again very satisfied with the course I am attending at the British Council although it is comletely different from the Legal English course I attended before. My goal was to practice my English even during summer. The group of people in this course is great and Ru - our teacher - is excellent. I will most likely continue in a Legal English course from September 2013."
