Czech Economic and Cultural Office in cooperation with the National Chengchi University (NCCU) - the Department of Slavic Languages and Literature organized the Czech language contest for Taiwanese students studying Czech. During the contest, students had to present selected Czech rhetoric text followed by reading a Czech rhyme. Students then worked in-groups where they were assigned a number of tasks to test their knowledge of the Czech language. In total 21 students attended the contest from three different categories - beginners, lower-intermediate and intermediate. The Czech language can be difficult to learn for foreigners, thus the jury appreciated the efforts and enthusiasm of all Taiwanese students and firmly believes that many of them will someday study in the Czech Republic.

The host lecturer Ondřej Geppert from the Department of Slavic Languages ​​and Literature at the NCCU, who was managing the contest´s preparations as well, also introduced the rich Czech folk customs to the audience.
