I am immensely grateful for the support and guidance not only from Marina Melkonjan but also from the entire teams at the OPU and the Center for Foreigners of the South Moravian Region in Brno.

Lyuba Shuginina

The Centre for Foreigners is cool! It offers opportunities to enter a new environment and to learn Czech traditions and values. The most important thing is that you can learn Czech here for free. The employees are always nice and tolerant. I also like to visit the workshops and lectures.

I am very happy that I could attend the Czech courses at the Center. I would like to particularly thank Radim; through him I got to know other Czech lecturers at Vysočina. If I was to describe it in just one word, the word would be – THE BEST. Thanks to you, foreigners feel at home in Brno!

You are the best! I learned about the Center from my friends and then I attended Czech courses at various levels. The willingness and approach of the lecturers were always perfect. My greetings to the best lecturers, Radim and Diana.

Excellent Center! It helps to everyone who was “foreign” at the beginning. It quickly transforms them into people who feel as if they were born here.  The Center gives the best and nicest of what Czech culture has to offer.

I worked at the Center as a volunteer. I must give credit to the excellent organizational team and modern facilities in the center of Brno. It was my pleasure to work with you, thanks for a great experience!

Thanks to the Center and a special big thank you to Mrs. Ljubov Klok for her support, help in studying the language and assistance with official documents for uniting the family.  Thanks to you, our family is back together!

Excellent Center for the support of foreigners, brilliant and kindhearted people; they helped us a lot. Thank you!

I want to thank you for the fact that there is a place where a foreigner can come without any fear and receive answers to almost any question, because support is crucial in the difficult period of moving to a different country!

Yury Zvizdaruk

Thanks to the pleasant teachers who like to teach us in the form of games, we immersed ourselves in the difficult Czech language. I myself taught meditation here as part of the community activities. I am glad that everything is free for us.
