Learning Slovak language online is not that difficult. Slovak language is relatively easy to learn, especially if your native language belongs to the Slavic language group.
During the COVID-19 pandemic the popularity of online education began to gain momentum. Previously, such a format was associated with short courses and seminars; today you can learn a foreign language, prepare for admission to a European university - and do it completely remotely.
GoStudy school keeps up to date: on October 1, 2022 we will launch the "Slovak Language Online" program, which will allow you to learn the language up to B2 level in a year and study for free in a university in Slovakia.
Why Slovakia?

Slovak language is relatively easy to learn. It is enough not to skip the online lessons and do all your homework, and in a year you will speak Slovak language at the B2 level."
Slovakia is a viable option for students from many countries as they continue to issue visas to students from these countries.
There are 21 universities in Slovakia, where foreigners can get a free education if they study in Slovak language. A number of universities are listed in THE World University Rankings and QS World University Rankings. These include Comenius University in Bratislava; Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava; Technical University of Košice; Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, and University of Prešov.
The Slovak universities offer a wide range of fields of study, from medical and natural sciences to technical and art fields of study. At the same time the competition is not high, so it is easy to be admitted to the university.
A student of a Slovak university receives a permanent residence permit for 2-3 months, which allows them to travel free around the Schengen agreement countries.
