Language and Educational Centre Pygmalion
The Pygmalion language school aims not only at teaching English language. Even though English remains the corner stone of language courses at Pygmalion, since 1999 the offer of language courses has spread also to other foreign languages. These are: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Polish and Czech for foreigners. Pygmalion has in the last few years worked its way up to being one of the most important language and educational institutions in the Moravian-Silesian region.
At Pygmalion, language courses run throughout the whole calendar year, even over holidays. Summer vacation courses are a welcome addition to the standard language courses. One-year, post secondary school-leaving courses which are accredited by the Ministry of education, youth and physical education, have been held at Pygmalion since 1999. Students, who absolve the post secondary school-leaving course in the first year after finishing secondary school with a graduation certificate, acquire student status with all the social advantages arising from this.
Pygmalion also offers language study trips abroad. Language study abroad plays an important role in maintaining and improving language abilities.
You may try out and have your language tests evaluated on our web pages. Each language test in a foreign language is evaluated free of charge.
The Pygmalion language school pays special attention to the choice of its lecturers. The language centre administration creates the best conditions possible for further increasing qualifications. Czech and foreign lecturers (the so-called native speakers), at regular methodological seminaries, have the chance to constantly acquaint themselves with the latest trends in the field of teaching foreign languages.
The language services rendered by Pygmalion to its clients have been, since the year 2000, expanded to include translations and interpreting into the majority of European languages. It is not just simple translations of texts in Word, but also more complicated translations of catalogues which require further graphic working, which is done by our own DTP studio (QuarkXPress, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, CorelDraw and other graphic programs). Follow-up proofreading by a native speaker is a matter of course with all our translations. We also carry out proofreading of Czech texts where your company documents need to have flawless grammar and stylistic corrections. In the field of interpreting, we offer consecutive interpreting, simultaneous interpreting and legal interpreting (amongst our co-workers are a number of experienced legal translators).
On agreement with the client we also arrange transport of the translated material to any place in Europe within 48 hours of sending off the completed documents.
