A comparison with his mother tongue is possible for all EU languages and for the most of the other languages of Europe. The course is an additional support of Czech language courses for foreign students wit the introduction and use of the Czech National Corpus (CNC) for educational purposes with a number of practical exercises on Czech grammar and vocabulary.
