Meet Our Instructors
Our team includes more than 50 experienced linguists, with instructors based here in Charlottesville and across the U.S. and around the world. Together, they bring language, culture, and real-life experience into every lesson, creating learning that’s personal, engaging, and human.
Czech: Jan Čihák, PhD
“Language is the key, but culture is what opens the door. I believe that learning means discovering, and I love guiding my students through the Czech language while introducing them to the traditions, stories, and perspectives that bring it to life. Every lesson is an invitation to discover.”
Speak! is about CONNECTION!
Many of our favorite moments happen when teachers and students learn, laugh, and connect beyond the lesson.
