More about Anna Cooková…
Instructor Anna Cooková lived in the Czech Republic from 1994-2002. Since 2009 she has been offering Community Courses in Czech Language & Culture in Czech-American Communities. Various organizations refer her to translate old family letters and other hand-written documents from the late 1800’s to our 21st century from Czech to English. In 2012 she expanded to include lessons over Skype using a curriculum and CD’s she is personally developing. In 2013 she was awarded a grant by the Czech Government for teachers that teach the Czech Language in expatriate communities and has started a Speak Czech Over Lunch in the Loop that meets monthly in Downtown, Chicago.
