Kurz je určen především cizincům, kteří se nikdy nesetkali s českým jazykem a chtějí se jej naučit od základů. Výuka je vedena českým lektorem převážně v angličtině s důrazem na gramatiku vyučovanou v kontextu s reálnými situacemi. Studenti budou schopni vést jednoduchou konverzaci (o sobě, své rodině, svém volném čase, …) či napsat jednoduchý neformální dopis.
