    oh, so it is once again this "se" word that swiches meaning of "uci*" from teach to learn ?

      Yep, kinda. učit = 'teach', se makes it reflexive, so: učit se = 'teach oneself' = 'learn'

        Is "We are here to teach you Czech language" so terribly wrong?

          I suggest staying at the adverb.

          Also, I think it would have to be "the Czech language".

            "the Czech language" sounds better. Thanks
