Příběh

How did it start?

My name is Nathan Adlam and I am a native English speaker from Kalamazoo, Michigan, in the USA. I've been teaching English in Prague for over two years now and I really enjoy it. I saw that many of my students keep making the same mistakes with topics like present perfect, conditionals, prepositions, and so on, so I decided to make something to help them. 

What is our goal?

Our goal is to help Czech students of English enjoy learning and speaking confidently. 

Details

25 Days from Czenglish to English is a daily English grammar practice for busy Czech students of English who don't like and don't have time to study grammar. This book is not made for all international students of English, but specifically for Czech people. 

The book includes professional illustrations from local Czech designer Tereza Basařová and does not feel like a textbook.  

The book focuses on grammar for everyday conversation, not topics like "third conditional". The exercises are designed to take between 5-15 minutes per day. There are occasional reviews throughout the book, so you can continue to practice what you've learned. 

 

The money from crowdfunding goes towards designing, editing, and printing the books, as well as the creation of the video, ISBN number, and shipping. 

We're on Instagram

Czenglish to English is known on Instagram for teaching English with cat videos, mixed in with some typical "Czenglish" mistakes. The goal of the brand is to make the process of learning English enjoyable and help people speak more confidently.

Who am I?

I used to be an engineer living in Detroit, Michigan, but I became tired of corporate life. I decided to move to Prague and try teaching English, and I am still here over 2 years later. I love helping people enjoy speaking English and helping them get better. I love talking about topics that my students are passionate about and helping them express themselves better. I love hearing from my students that they were able to speak confidently in a business meeting because of the regular lessons we've been having. I enjoy giving people a break from a busy life to laugh about cat videos and light-hearted topics.
