The Goethe-Institut in Prague was founded in 1990 with the aim of spreading the knowledge of German language and awareness of contemporary Germany.
Goethe-Institut that is located on Masarykovo nábřeží in Prague 1 offers a rich program of language courses and extensive program of internationally acknowledged exams. German courses are divided into trimesters and the offer of the Goethe-Institut includes besides standard courses also intensive language courses, special courses focusing on various topics (such as German literature, conversation courses, grammar, conversation and film), courses for companies, individual courses, courses for children and youth and many others. At Goethe-Institut there is also a library whose extensive collection of books and other material are available to all those who are interested in Germany, learning German or teach German themselves.
Goethe-Institut organizes many cultural events at the institute as well as at other places throughout the year. These events are usually interpreted and so you can take part in them even without any knowledge of German. Goethe-Institut’s website offers a great amount of interesting information about culture (including cultural tips in German cities close to the border), art, social and political topics regarding Germany and German events in the Czech Republic.
