At the moment, Mareena organizes courses only in Košice.

In the meantime, we also invite you to our language cafés in Bratislava, Nitra and Košice. You can practice Slovak through conversations on topics that interest you, chat with our café facilitators and train your communication skills in a friendly environment over a cup of tea or coffee. We look forward to seeing you!

Slovak Language Courses in Košice

Current course offer

About Slovak courses at Mareena, Košice

We have been organizing Slovak language courses in Košice since August 2022. We started with groups for complete beginners and today we offer full levels A1, A2, B1 and B2, taught using the popular Krížom Krážom textbook series. In addition to standard levels, we also run conversation courses and are preparing to launch ECL exam preparation courses.

Our students are diverse — most participants come from Ukraine, but we also regularly teach people from non-Slavic countries who need to start from the very basics. What they all share is the desire to communicate, feel more confident in everyday life and find their place here.

Many students stay with us long-term and continue to higher levels — thanks to our patient, friendly and empathetic lecturers who create a safe and supportive learning environment.

Why choose our courses?

  • small groups, maximum 15 students

  • communicative, practical approach

  • various levels – from beginners to advanced

  • experienced teaching team

  • average rating of 4–5 stars

  • supportive and friendly atmosphere

How do the courses work?

We organize courses in three trimesters:
Autumn: September – December / Winter: January – March / Spring: April – June.

The standard duration is 12 weeks with a total of 24 or 36 hours (2 × 1 hour or 2 × 1.5 hours per week).

Classes are held mainly in the afternoons on weekdays, which suits most students best. However, if there is sufficient interest, we can also open morning groups and courses after 20:00 — we want everyone to find a time that fits their schedule.

Teaching takes place primarily in person at our premises at Hlavná 68 in Košice.
From September 2025, we will also offer ONLINE courses, allowing students to learn remotely with the same quality.


teaching team
Ľudka
Volunteer Coordinator and Slovak Language Lecturer
Ľudka Ténai
Volunteer Coordinator and Slovak Language Lecturer
Ľudka studied Slovak Language and Literature and German Language and Literature, and for several years she tried to convince adult Slovaks that German is actually great and can be enjoyable (anyone who hasn’t watched *Harry Potter* in German with her doesn’t know what a real German class is). She then went to “rest” on maternity leave, only to now enjoy a break from her daughters by teaching Slovak as a second language — mainly to beloved Roma women within the *Cesty von* language support program, as well as working as a lecturer for people from Ukraine. In addition, she wants to relaunch her volunteer life in Košice, where there is certainly space for new discoveries and challenges. In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing amateur reviews, attending film festivals, travelling, spending time in nature, dancing, having coffee, meeting new people and occasionally baking something.

Zuzana Ruňaninová
Slovak language lecturer
Zuzka is an energetic and curious person, a mother of three, who loves discovering new countries and cultures. In her free time, she plays the drums, where she can fully express her sense of rhythm and temperament. She also has a strong passion for foreign languages, which she studies enthusiastically and uses during her travel adventures. She loves reading and works as a teacher of English and Slovak. She strives not only to pass on knowledge to her students, but also to be someone who listens to them and can offer support.
Kateryna
Slovak language lecturer
Kateryna Rusyn
Slovak language lecturer
Kateryna studied teaching Ukrainian and English and later obtained an engineering degree in industrial management. She works professionally in translation and language teaching, providing education that is not only effective but also tailored to individual needs and language levels. At Mareena, she works as a language course instructor, combining theoretical knowledge, practical experience and a systematic approach to learning, thereby supporting students in achieving their language goals and building confidence in using a foreign language.
Daniela
Slovak language lecturer
Daniela Fabišíková
Slovak language lecturer
Daniela studied special education, and volunteering is a natural part of her life — she has supported international students in their integration, worked as a camp counselor at children’s camps, and tutored children from marginalized communities in both Slovak and English. Art and culture are close to her heart — for many years she devoted herself to singing in a folklore ensemble and also worked in theatre, which allowed her to glimpse behind the scenes of the creative world. She enjoys discovering new countries and cultures, as well as the stories of people she meets along her travels.
