A Custom Method Made For Czechs

Ten years in the making, this is the fastest way Jacob knows how to get a Czech to practical English fluency

01

A Start-To-Finish Path To Fluency

The English With Jacob course takes you from saying hello to being conversationally fluent in English, where every step to builds on from the last, with lots of revision built in, so you can reach a practically fluent level as fast efficiently as possible. 

02

Obsessively Organised For Maximum Progress

Getting to a real conversational level in a language isn't magic, it's just a limited number of grammar topics and vocab used over and over again. Jacob knows what these topics and words are, and the most efficient order to learn them in to make the fastest progress. 

03

Custom-Made For Czechs

Our videos, textbook, leaflets, quizzes and everything else is custom-made for Czechs, meaning every topic is explained from a Czech perspective, showing how it works in English vs Czech, with lots of translations and pro tips.

Lots Of Conversation & Laughs

Jacob's lessons are fully conversational, with lots of laughs guaranteed. This doesn't mean no learning though! Lessons are full of correction and with a clear topic for each and every lesson.

No Worksheets or Activities

In Jacob's lessons you will never have to do worksheets, silly activities or any other boring things. Just talking, improving and getting better in a natural environment.

Real Progress (like really real)

Jacob is the creator of The Box Method, a clear step-by-step path to conversational fluency, with every topic in a cute little box. If you learn all the boxes, you speak English, it's that simple!

No Awkward Moments

The atmosphere in our lessons is super friendly and fun, and students often say they feel really free to talk, with no pressure and don't feel awkward when they make mistakes. Which is exactly how it should be!

Self-Paced Video Courses

Get the whole start-to-finish course in super high quality video courses

We love languages and invested in fancy gear to make sure all our content looks and sounds awesome, because learning a language is hard enough without trying to learn through videos that look like they were filmed on a potato.

What Student's Say

Whether you're a student in university, or CEO of a massive company, you're in good hands

Anna Verichová

Logistics Specialist, Mondelēz International
"Very satisfied with the summer group course led by Jacob. There are only 3 of us in the group, so everyone gets a chance to speak, the 90 minute lesson goes by like water every week and most importantly it's fun!"

Eva Přibylová

Office Manager, WorkLounge
"The best English lessons I've ever had. I enjoyed the lessons, they unlearn past mistakes, the classes are fun and Jacob is a great teacher."

Alexandra Hůlková

Head Of Marketing, DODO
"What can I say, this best language course I've ever taken. After a few weeks I see improvements in myself that didn't show up after months in other courses. The classes don't bore me, but at the same time I correct some typical "Czenglish" mistakes in each class. I'm glad I got a recommendation for Jacob and I don't regret a single koruna invested in these English classes.
