Czech Cases Don’t Work Like This! (The Smarter Way to Learn Czech)Hey Czech learner You’ve probably heard: “Just master the 7 Czech cases and you’ll speak fluently.” But come on… you know that’s not true. Endless charts, endings, and tables don’t help you in real-life conversations.

Why Czech grammar feels so hardWhen you memorize case rules, you’re storing them in the wrong part of your brain. You freeze, translate in your head, and miss the moment. That’s why Czech feels stressful instead of natural. The good news? You don’t need to think about nominative or accusative to have fun conversations.

What works insteadYou need repetition, real-life chunks, and everyday phrases. Learn Czech online in a way that makes sense—through practical examples like Díky za dárek or Mluvím s kamarádem. With enough practice, your brain builds automatic patterns and you finally feel confident speaking Czech.

Your next stepIf you want more than just tips, join slowczech Lab. It’s the place where you get live online Czech lessons, meet learners like you, and practice with the best Czech tutors in a no-stress zone. Plus, you’ll always find free material to learn Czech, podcasts, and videos to keep you motivated.

From Feeling Alone to Making Real Progress in CzechDo you sometimes feel like you’re learning Czech all alone?
You sit with your app, your textbook, maybe even a podcast—but when it comes to real life, you freeze. People around you don’t get it. They switch back to English, or they ask: “Why even bother learning Czech?” And suddenly, you feel stuck, invisible, and discouraged.

I know how heavy that feels.
And I also know this: language doesn’t grow in isolation.

Czech is not just grammar tables and vocabulary lists. Czech grows in conversations. In real-life moments. In safe spaces where you can make mistakes without being judged. With people who cheer you on and celebrate your small wins.

In this post (and video), you’ll discover:

  • Why learning alone makes your progress slower.
  • The hidden reason apps and textbooks feel so frustrating.
  • The missing piece that finally gives you confidence to speak Czech.
  • How the right community of learners can make Czech feel natural, joyful, and truly yours.

Because you don’t want to be a tourist in your own life here. You want to belong. You want to reply at the doctor’s office without panic, chat with colleagues, and feel part of Czech conversations with your friends and family.

And the good news? You don’t need to wait years. Once you stop learning in isolation and start learning with the right people, progress comes so much faster.

Hey Czech learner!

Do you ever think:
“Maybe I’m not talented for languages…”
“I’ve been learning Czech for years but still can’t speak!”
“Why do I freeze in every conversation?”

Let’s stop pretending it’s your fault.
It’s not. And in this podcast episode, I tell you exactly why.

You’ll discover the biggest problem with the way we’ve all been taught to learn languages.
(Hint: it’s not about how old you are, or how many grammar books you’ve bought.)

Instead of speaking Czech, most learners are just memorizing words, rules, and phrases they never actually use. That’s not connection. That’s not conversation.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: Why traditional Czech lessons and apps like Duolingo leave you stuck in your head * How to finally break the wall between “I understand” and “I speak” * 3 things you can start doing today* to speak Czech naturally * A mindset shift that brings real results (no perfectionism required!)

You’ll also get 3 reflection prompts to understand your blockages—and rewrite your story.

If you’re looking for real-life Czech, practical tips, and the confidence to say more than “Dobrý den,” this episode is for you.
Let’s change the way you learn Czech—so you can finally speak the way you want.

Měj se hezky, uč se česky,

Eliška

Ahoj, mám pro tebe video, kde používám alternativní adjektiva jako hezký, krásný a zajímavý. Sleduj adjektiva, jdeme na to.

Učíš se česky dlouho a umíš pasivně fakt hodně, ale mluvit je těžký. Závisíš v každodenních situacích na druhých, ale chceš je zvládat bez pomoci. Cítíš se někdy jako outsider? A chceš komunikovat s rodinou, s přáteli, se sousedy a s kolegy? Chceš se tu cítit jako doma? Šestiměsíčný Immersion program od slowczech Lab ti změní život. Jdi na www.slowczech.com.

Na jaře jsem cestovala do Nepálu. Letěla jsem letadlem. Let byl dobrý.

Ne, takhle ne, potřebuji jiné slovo. Let byl příjemný a pohodový. Na letišti, na mě a celou skupinu čekala naše průhodkyně. Dostali jsme senzační dárek. Voňavý náhrdelník z oranžových květin. To byl krásný začátek treku.

Byla jsem na treku v regionu Kančenžinga. Na dlouhém treku jsem viděla úžasnou přírodu. Hory, velehory, nejsou jen krásné. Řekla bych, že jsou nádherné, úžasné, kouzelné, majestátní, dechberoucí a nezapomenutelné. Měli jsme neuvěřitelné štěstí na počasí. Přes den bylo nádherné slunečné počasí. Odpoledne většinou začal foukat silný vítr. Večer přišla jednou taková strašidelná mlha. A v noci bylo pokaždé zima, úplně mrazivá zima.

Cesta v horách vypadala jako jedny velké schody nahoru a dolu. Za to ten výhled, jedna velká krása. Výhled byl pokaždé originální a neopakovatelný. Šla jsem taky hodněkrát blízko řeky. Byla to divoká, dravá, horská řeka. Byla slyšet na kilometry daleko.

Taky jsem musela něco jíst. Nejčastěji jsem jedla výbornou nudlovou polévku se zeleninou. Tukpa. Potom opečené brambory se sýrem. Také vajíčka vařená a dalbát, což je čočka, pikantní zelenina a lahodná rýže. Všude vařili výtečně. Doporučuji. A co zvířata? Na horách běhaly elegantní kozorožci, za to dole v hlavním městě si hrály roztomilé opičky. Byla to nádhera.

Už se těším na další cestu. Pamatuješ si z videa:

Pohodový let

Kouzelné hory Nezapomenutelný výhled

Strašidelná mlha

Roztomilé opičky

Here’s the full transcript of this episode

Ahoj, dneska mám pro tebe příběh. Potkala jsem medvěda. Chceš taky umět vyprávět historky ze svého života? Tak poslouchej dál.

Už je to několik roků, co jsem jela s manželem na Slovensko. Chtěli jsme navštívit Tatry. Tatry jsou krásné hory.

Bylo už po sezóně, takže tam nebyli moc turisti. Šli jsme na túru. Turisty jsme opravdu neviděli, ale viděli jsme horská zvířata. Nejdřív jsme viděli kamzíky a muflony. To jsou horský kozy. Věděli jsme, že tam jsou i medvědi, ale nečekali jsme, že medvěda uvidíme.

A potom se manžel zastavil a říká, podívej, támhle je medvěd. Nejdřív jsem mu nevěřila, ale pak jsem se podívala a uviděla jsem ho taky. Byl veliký a byl docela blízko. Asi 300 metrů a šel k nám. Nevěděla jsem, co mám dělat. Byla jsem totálně paralyzovaná.Když jsem se zeptala manžela, co mám dělat, dal mi do ruky foťák a řekl, foť.

A tak jsem fotila. Medvěd o nás nevěděl. Chvíli jsme tam stáli a dívali se na něj a potom jsme šli dál. Byl to ale adrenalin. A to není všechno.

Když jsme potom přišli do vesnice, museli jsme stopovat auta, protože vlák ani autobus už žádný nejel. No a koho jsme si stopli? Policajty. Z dálky jsme neviděli, že je to policejní auto a když byli blízko a už jsme věděli, že je to policie, tak už zastavovali.

Takže nás domů dovezli policajti a v autě jsme jim ukazovali naše video medvěda. Nemohli tomu uvěřit. Říkali, že chodí do hor často, ale medvěda tam nikdy nepotkali.

A co ty? Umíš vyprávět historky v češtině nebo ti chybí slova, když mluvíš česky? S tím ti ve slowczech rádi pomůžeme. Přidej se k nám a taky nám dej hvězdičku na Spotify a řekni o nás svým kamarádům, co se učí česky. Nás tak budeš motivovat dělat to, co děláme a kamarádům pomůžeš zlepšit si češtinu a bavit se přitom.

You are not your level. You are your voice.Let’s stop pretending that levels (A1, A2, B1… blah blah) mean anything in real life.

Because real-life Czech doesn’t ask, “Excuse me, are you B2 yet?” before letting you into a conversation. And yet so many Czech learners wait… wait until they feel ready. Wait for permission. Wait for confidence to magically arrive.

Let’s change that.

In this episode, Eliška (founder of slowczech, language rebel, and mama to two) opens up about the systematic problem with language levels—and shares 3 mindset shifts to help you:

  • Speak Czech now, not later.
  • Stop identifying as “a beginner” and start expressing yourself in real conversations.
  • Join conversations that stretch you—in a way that feels safe, empowering, and fun.

You’ll also hear a beautiful story from one of our immersion participants who helped a woman on the street—using imperfect, messy Czech—and felt so proud of herself.

Because that’s what real progress looks like. Not a certificate. Not a level. But real-life connection.

Feel like you become a “smaller version” of yourself when speaking Czech?Hey Czech learner, let’s stop pretending you’re not smart. You’re thoughtful, expressive, and probably hilarious in your native language. But in Czech? You feel like you’re reduced to “Mám ráda kávu.”

This podcast episode—hosted by slowczech founder and Czech teacher Eliška—is for you if…

  • You’ve learned vocabulary but still can’t hold a natural conversation
  • You freeze when trying to chat with your Czech neighbor
  • You feel like a textbook robot instead of a real human
  • You wonder, “Where, sakra, are the results?!”

Let’s change that.


In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the traditional methods (textbooks, Duolingo, grammar drills) keep you stuck in “learner” mode
How to stop playing small and start speaking big—even with mistakes
3 practical, simple actions to feel like yourself in Czech (starting today!)
How to reconnect your brain and mouth and bring your personality back
Why real conversations matter more than perfect grammar

Because the truth is: you’re not dumb. You’re just trying to speak a new language in a way that doesn’t fit who you are. So let’s speak real Czech. Let’s express emotions, jokes, sarcasm, your beliefs, your voice.

That’s exactly what we do inside the slowczech Lab—a no-pressure space where everyday Czech, repetition, confidence, and connection matter more than perfection.

Here comes the transcript – enjoy reading along!

Ahoj, čau. Dneska pro tebe mám sedm slangový výrazů, které musíš znát.

První je slovo cajk nebo taky říkáme to je v cajku nebo to je cajk. Víš, co to znamená? Řeknu ti situaci, kamarád mi píše esemesku. A píše hele, nestíhám, můžeme se sejít za hodinu? A já mu odepíšu. Jo, jasně, cajk. To znamená to je v pořádku. To není problém, to je cajk.

Druhý výraz je To je vo ničem. Víš, kdy říct To je vo ničem? Zase mám pro tebe situaci. Jdu do kina, dívám se na film. No a potom se mě někdo zeptá: Hele, jakej byl ten film? A já říkám ne!

Hrůza, byl vo ničem. To znamená, ten film nestojí za to. Ten film byl nuda. Mně se nelíbil. Prostě podruhé už ten film vidět nechci. Byl o ničem.

Další je výraz Tady hledám jednu věc. Zabít, zabít čas. Ale já nechci nikoho zabít. Zabít čas znamená, že hledám nějakou zábavu. Třeba jedu vlakem někam pryč a čekám na další spoj. Mám dvě hodiny čas a nějak chci ty dvě hodiny zabít. Chci ten čas zabít. Chci si najít nějakou zábavu. Tak třeba jdu do kavárny, dám si kafe a čtu si knížku. A tak zabiju ten čas.

Pak tady mám výraz. Mám nervy v kýblu. To je kýbl. A když řeknu, mám nervy v kýblu. To znamená, měla jsem celý den stres. Už už toho je moc. Už prostě nechci víc poslouchat. Nechci víc dělat. Nechci nic. Potřebuju pauzu. Potřebuju klid. Už mám toho dost.

To stejné třeba je. Mám toho plný brejle nebo mám toho plný kecky. Už je toho tak. Už je toho moc. Stačí.

A pak ještě mám spojení další. A to je Mám vokno. Víš, kdy říct Mám vokno? Já mám vokno Tady doma, Tady to je moje okno. Ale když řeknu, že mám vokno, to znamená, že najednou myšlenka je pryč.

A poslední výraz, to ti řeknu situaci. Pracuju v nějaké firmě, mám šéfa a pracuju na projektu. Ale udělala jsem velkou chybu. No, a dostala jsem od šéfa čočku. To znamená čočka je tohle, to je čočka. Ale když dostanu čočku, to znamená, že někdo se na mě zlobí. Ten šéf se zlobil a křičel na mě. Byl nespokojený, protože jsem udělala chybu. To znamená dostat čočku.

Tak co? Jaká fráze? Jaké slangové spojení nebo výraz se ti líbí? A je to cajk.

Těším se, že se třeba potkáme na nějaké lekci nebo ve slowczech Lab. No a jinak se měj moc hezky a čau.

A teď mám pro tebe úkol. Napiš si na papír všechny výrazy, které si z videa pamatuješ. Znáš i nějaké jiné? Napiš mi do komentáře.

Ahoooj, tady Eliška!

Let’s be real for a sec…

Mluvíš česky. You can order in a café, talk to the soused, maybe even throw in a little joke here and there.
But when things get deep… fast… or super Czech… you freeze.
You smile, nod, say “Jo, jo, chápu”… but inside you’re thinking: Cože?! What did they just say?

And even after all the efford, you still sometimes feel like cizinec.
Not always. But often enough that it stings.

This video is for you if:

  • You speak Czech but feel like something’s still missing.
  • You want to stop thinking “Is this správně?” every time you open your mouth.
  • You’re craving real connection—not just correct grammar.

Let me tell you a secret:
Belonging doesn’t come from declinating přátelé like a boss.
It comes from speaking like you. Naturally. Confidently. With all your jokes, quirks, and Czechness.

That’s exactly what we’re doing in Real Czech, Real You.
It’s our 2-month program for pokročilí learners who are ready to go deeper—into real conversations, real expressions, and real Czech life.

Inside the program:

  • Weekly self-paced & live lessons
  • Real cultural references (yes, even the weird ones )
  • Czech humor, slang, and expressions
  • Fast, natural reactions (like “To si děláš srandu!” or “No jo no…”)
  • A safe, supportive komunita to grow with

You’ve come so far. You’re not a začátečník.
You’re ready for more.

Let’s go from “Mluvím česky.” to → “Tady jsem doma.”

Transcript of the episode comes today with a fun twist.. try to fill in the gaps!Ahoj, tady Maruška. Dneska pro tebe mám téma angličtina v češtině. Umíš anglicky? To je super, protože automaticky znáš hodně českých slov. Třeba tramvaj. Pomerančový džus. Googlovat? To je cool, ne? Někdy jsou …………….. jiná, ale když je slyšíš, můžeš si tipnout, co to je. Znáš je pasivně. Teď ti ……… příběh. Můj den, co dělám, rozumíš? Na ……………. budeš znát další slova, která jsou podobná jako v angličtině. Tak jo, jdeme na to.

To je můj den. Jaký je dneska plán? Aha, máme meeting, jsme start up, tak máme malý, ale dynamický tým. Finišujeme teď jeden projekt, zítra ho …………………. prezentovat. Jsem trošku nervózní. Můj kolega má …………….. homeoffice, je doma, tak používáme zoom, zoomujeme. Kolega sharuje slidy a diskutujeme a debatujeme. Po meetingu si dám pauzu. Uf, udělám si capuccino a scrolluju na Instagramu, chilluju a ignoruju emaily. Můj ex Petr postnul cool fotku z Mexika. Hmmm, tam jsme se poznali, když jsem na něj slidla na Tinderu. Ale nedám té fotce lajk. Nebudu jí lajkovat. Nechci s ním flirtovat.

Hmmm, a, notifikace od Teams. Kolega chce update. Updatuju kolegu a edituju finální verzi prezentace, ale nemůžu se koncentrovat, myslím pořád na párty večer. Musím před párty ještě uklízet a luxovat a mopovat ……………. a bude to jenom taková mini párty pro pár lidí, ale chci dělat nějaký alkohol a nealko koktejly, tak musím koupit alkohol, asi rum a gin a džusy a colu. Stresuje mě parkování, parkování bude komplikovaný. Hmm, aspoň mám perfektní playlist. Kdo přijde na párty? Moje ………………… Markéta, Markéta je super. Pracuje jako grafička v IT firmě. Je ………….. kreativní. Pracuje tam taky Helena …………….. manažerka. Helena je super organizovaná a ambiciózní. A její partner Tomáš je bankéř, trochu workoholik. Pořád pracuje. Lucka pracuje v alternativní škole jako asistentka a její partner Jiří studuje medicínu. Chce být doktor. Možná přijde ……………. Lenka. Lenka je teď trošku celebrita, protože je v televizi jako moderátorka. Hmm, to bude …………….., ale nejsem dneska moc produktivní.

Tak jo. A co je teď priorita? Musím ještě exportovat data do PDF, poslat feedback grafikovi zeditovat to video. Hmm, tak jo. To byl můj den.

Možná máš ………………., byla to normální čeština? Nebylo to trochu divný? Trochu bizarní? Nebyla. Byla to normální čeština. Bylo tam hodně slov z angličtiny. Ano, byl to takový experiment, ale to jsou taky normální slova.

Rozumíš? Tak to je top. To je cool. To je super, to je perfektní. Napiš do komentáře, co rozumíš, nerozumíš, co budeš používat. Tak jo, čau, čau.

Tak jak to šlo? Máš vyplněná všechna slova?

Ahoj, tady Eliška!

Mám otázku.

Ever feel like you’re just watching Czech conversations happen around you—nodding, smiling, but not really part of them? You’re not alone!

Stop Watching Czech. Start Speaking Czech.In this video, I’ll show you how to stop feeling like an outsider in Czech and start jumping into real conversations with confidence.

Because fluency? It’s not about memorizing endless grammar rules or stuffing your brain with vocabulary lists. It’s about connecting—understanding, responding naturally, and feeling at ease when speaking. And yet, traditional methods keep leaving learners stuck in “textbook Czech,” unable to flow in real conversations.

So, let’s change that!Here’s what you can do today to start feeling at home in Czech:
Surround yourself with Czech you actually understand. Watch slowczech videos, listen to podcasts, and engage with content that’s just a little above your level.
Shift your mindset! Instead of saying, “I’m learning Czech,” start saying, “I speak Czech and connect easily in conversations.” That tiny change? It’s a game-changer for your confidence.

Tell me—what’s one challenge you face when speaking Czech? Drop it in the comments!

Ahoj, já jsem Monča.

Čau, já jsem Eliška.

Dneska pro tebe máme téma zkratky a naučíme tě tu opravdovou neformální češtinu a na konci budeš rozumět tomu, co Češi tak říkají.

Tak jdeme na to.

Učíš se česky dlouho a umíš pasivně fakt hodně.

Ale mluvit je těžký.

Závisíš v každodenních situacích na druhých, ale chceš je zvládat bez pomoci?

Cítíš se někdy jako outsider?

A chceš komunikovat s rodinou, s přáteli, se sousedy a s kolegy?

Chceš se tu cítit jako doma?

Šestiměsíční Immersion program od slowczech Lab ti změní život.

Jdi na www.slowczech.com/lab.

Mončo, chodíš někdy nakupovat do HMka?

Do Haemka, co to je?

A já někdy chodím do Céáčka,

chodíš někdy do Céáčka? CéÁčka? CA.

Další obchod s oblečením říkáme, Céáčko.

Chodím do Céáčka.

A jakou velikost si kupuješ?

Kupuješ si Esko, Emko, Elko, XElko?

Emko.

Kupuju si Emko.

Jo, taky si kupuju emko.

Ale někdy Esko.

A Mončo?

Kde kupuješ šampony?

Taky v Déemku?

V DéeMku?

Déemko je drogerie, myslím drogerie markt.

Chodíme do Déemka.

A když si objednáš balíčky na internetu, objednáváš přes PéPéeLko nebo vozí ti je PPL nebo DHL?

Rozumím PPL a DHL.

Preferuji PPL nebo Zásilkovnu.

OK.

Wifinu?

To znáš.

Jako wifi.

Čauky! Ready for our new podcast episode? Today our tutor Petra explores the charming world of children’s language in Czech. Have you ever wondered about the difference between “jíst” (to eat) and “papat” (a child-friendly term for eating) or between “spát” (to sleep) and “spinkat”?

In this episode, Petra shares relatable situations that demonstrate how parents use these playful terms when talking to their young children.

If you’re eager to boost your confidence in speaking Czech and want to dive deeper into the language, consider joining slowczech Lab. It’s an online community that offers immersive lessons, helping you communicate effectively with others. Check it out at www.slowczech.com/lab.

Tune in now and enjoy the journey of learning with slowczech!

Transcript of this episode:

Ahoj, doufám, že se máš hezky. Já tě moc zdravím.

Víš, jaký je rozdíl mezi jíst a papat? Nebo mezi spát a spinkat? Papat a spinkat, to je dětská řeč.

Já jsem slyšela často během svých lekcí i v komunikaci s cizinci to, že používaly dětskou řeč. I když mluvily o sobě. A jestli chceš mít v tomhle tématu trošku víc jasno, tak si poslechni některé moje podcasty, které se tomuto tématu věnujou.

A dneska ti povím takový základ. Představ si situaci, kdy v kuchyní je maminka, tatínek, třeba Martin, a syn Tomáš. Syn Tomáš má čtyři nebo pět let, plus mínus. A maminka říká tatínkovi, Martine, co si dáš dneska k snídani? Co budeš jíst? A pak se zeptá syna a řekne, Tomášku, co budeš papat? Dáš si sýreček nebo si dáš páreček nebo něco jiného? Takže papat maminka použije pro toho syna, ne pro tatínka.

Nebo jiná situace.

Představ si, že je večer a tatínek Martin řekne, já už jsem unavený, už si půjdu lehnout, už půjdu spát. A maminka řekne Tomáškovi, Tomášku, už je moc pozdě, už půjdeme spinkat. Už půjdeme spinkat.

Nebo ještě jiná situace.

Třeba Tomášek se zraní a maminka říká, jejej ty máš bebí, bebí je to zranění. Takže i pro substantiva máme spoustu různých tvarů. Ta dětská řeč je hodně zajímavá a určitě stojí za to se o tom dozvědět trošku víc.

No a jestli i ty chceš víc rozumět, co říkají Češi a cítit se tady víc jako doma, jestli chceš víc komunikovat s rodinou, mít větší sebevědomí, doporučuji přidat se do našeho šestiměsíčního programu slowczech Lab, je to online program, trénuješ tam reálnou češtinu, budeš komunikovat i s dalšími členy komunity, čeká tě dvanáct skupinových lekcí a moc to doporučuju, protože si myslím, že za půl roku můžeš udělat velký pokrok a že to určitě stojí za to, budeš se cítit líp a já se moc těším na případnou spolupráci, na to, že se uvidíme, uslyšíme a určitě si pusť nějaké další podcasty nebo videa, kterých je pro tebe připravena spousta.

Měj se krásně a někdy naviděnou, naslyšenou, ahoj Petra.

How to Learn Czech Grammar the slowczech WayAhoj, tady Eliška!

Are you struggling or confused what is the best way to learn Czech grammar?

You know the rules, you’ve studied the cases, but when it’s time to speak, your mind goes blank.

Sound familiar?

Traditional methods make Czech grammar feel like a puzzle—one that takes years to solve. But what if there was a better way?

At slowczech, we believe that mastering Czech grammar shouldn’t be about memorizing rules—it should be about learning to use them naturally.

In this video, we’ll break down why grammar-focused learning holds you back and show you a practical, real-life approach to learning Czech with confidence.

Why Grammar-Heavy Learning Doesn’t WorkMost traditional language courses drill grammar into your head but never teach you how to use it. You spend hours learning tables and endings—mluvím, mluvíš, mluví, mluvíme…—but when you need to speak, you hesitate.

Why? Because you’re trying to recall a rule instead of communicating.

The truth is, you don’t need perfect grammar to start speaking Czech. You need confidence and practice in real-life situations. The slowczech method helps you do exactly that.


The slowczech Way: Learn Grammar Through SpeakingInstead of focusing on drills, our method helps you absorb Czech grammar naturally through listening, speaking, and real-life practice. Here’s how:

1. Stop Aiming for PerfectionCzech natives won’t judge you for small grammar mistakes. They care about understanding you, not your endings. Even Czechs don’t speak textbook-perfect Czech in daily life! So, instead of freezing up, focus on getting your message across.

2. Speak First, Correct LaterConfidence comes from speaking—not from memorizing tables. The best way to internalize grammar is to use it in conversation. The more you practice, the more automatic it becomes.

3. Learn Grammar in ContextForget grammar books filled with unnatural sentences. Learn through real-life dialogues and role plays that mimic situations you actually face: ordering coffee, making plans, or chatting with colleagues.


Real-Life Czech Practice with slowczechWe designed the Grammar Challenge to help learners stop overthinking and start speaking. Each day, you’ll get bite-sized lessons, real-life dialogues, and practice exercises that build your confidence step by step.

Level 1: Focuses on the basics—verb conjugation, cases, and simple phrases.
Level 2: Helps you polish your grammar through structured yet natural practice.

Join our newsletter to be first to know + receive the early bird discount!


Break Free from Grammar OverthinkingIf you feel stuck, it’s time to shift your approach. Czech grammar doesn’t have to be a struggle—it can be easy, natural, and fun.

So, let’s stop learning Czech and start speaking it. Try slowczech today and experience the difference.

Get matched to your perfect teacher for 1:1 lessons and start speaking… already this week!

EliškaAhoj, ahoj! Vítej v prvním podcastu roku 2025. Moc děkuju, že s námi byl, nebo že s námi byla v roce 2024. Společně jsme dokázali fakt skvělý věci. Koukej na statistiky. 60 studentů v 15 skupinových kurzech, 73 aktivních individuálních studentů, přes 31 000 minut výuky, 51 lekcí ve slowczech Lab a 192 kurzů a ebooku. Děkuju, že jsi součástí slowczech. Děkuju, že tohle všechno, to jsi ty, a tvoje lepší čeština, tvůj lepší život, a náš, lektorek, náš lepší život. Pokud jsi tady nový, pokud znáš slowczech krátce, tak vítej. A ať už jsi nový nebo ne, mrkni na náš web máme novinku 6 Months Immersion Program slowczech Lab v upgradované verzi, kde za šest měsíců budeš mluvit česky, tak jak si přeješ. Tak jak chceš. A konečně se začneš v češtině a v Česku cítit jako doma. No a teď už jsi poslechni, co některé ze 18 lektorek slowczech říkají o roce 2024, co se jim povedlo, co se jim nepovedlo. A taky, co ti přejí do roku 2025. No, tak jdeme na to.

DanielaAhoj, uslyšíš moje střípky z roku 2024. Mně I celé rodině se povedla nádherná cesta po Americe. Viděla jsem tam své kamarády, a taky jsem navštívila nádherná místa v arizonské poušti a v horách. Nadchly mě obrovské kaktusy saguaro a modří ptáci v červených skalách.

Co se mi nepovedlo? Asi nejvíc mě mrzí situace, které se odehrávají v rodině. Určitě taky znáš tuhle chvíli. Něco řeknu a hned vím, že to bylo špatně, protože to druhému ublížilo. A takových zkažených rozhovorů si přeju v novém roce míň.

Na co se příští rok těším? Na dalekou cestu do Nepálu, na společné lyžování s rodinou a na praktický koučinkový kurz. Tobě přeji krásné svátky a šťastný rok 2025.

JindraAhoj. Já jsem Jindra a jsem pyšná na to, že se mi tento rok povedlo vytvořit pár videí pro slowczech a z toho mám moc velkou radost. A co se mi nepovedlo? Zatím se mi nepovedlo realizovat jeden můj videoprojekt, to je škoda. A taky se mi ještě nepovedlo vymyslet, co koupím mému tátovi Vánocům. A to je fakt velkej průser.

Co plánuju v novém roce? Neplánuju, chci se nechat překvapit. A tobě v novém roce, tobě přeju ať ahoj nebo dobrý den, ať je jen začátek nějaké fajn konverzace, která skončí třeba u piva. Tak jo, krásný nový rok.

PetraAhoj, tady je Petra. Dostala jsem 3 otázky. První otázka, co se ti v roce 2024 povedlo? Tak mně se povedlo uběhnout půlmaraton a jsem moc ráda, protože trénink mi trval víc než dva roky, ale zvládla jsem to.

Otázka druhá, co se ti nepovedlo? Tak nepovedlo se mi posunout v angličtině. Nebyla jsem dost systematická a mrzí mě to.

Otázka 3, jaké máš plány na příští rok? Tak plánů mám víc určitě, ale jedna z těch věcí bude udělat ten progres v angličtině, protože bych se chtěla cítit líp, když s někým bavím a budu se snažit se posunout. A tobě do nového roku přeju všechno dobré, přeju klid v duši a přeji hodně zdraví. A moc doufám, že se potkáme ať už na lekci nebo třeba někde jinde osobně. Měj se hezky, ahoj.

Eliška

A na závěr podcastu jsem tady zase já Eliška a co můj rok 2024? Musím říct, že se nám povedlo něco úžasného. Mám dvě malé děti pod 3 roky a byli jsme na dovolené v Řecku s celou rodinou. Deset lidí na 14 dní jen 20 metrů od moře. To bylo dokonalé. Budu vzpomínat ještě dlouho.

Ale co se mi nepovedlo? Ne všechno šlo podle plánu. Udělala jsem nějaké marketingové chyby. Měla jsem komplikovanou komunikaci ohledně konference pro lektorky, taky s právníky, s právní firmou, ale víš co? To jsou zkušeností, které mě posunou zase dál.

No a pokud chceš udělat taky reflexy svého roku 2024 a připravit se na rok 2025 určitě jdi na YouTube. A podívej se na video, na live stream Reflect on 2024 and Crash Your 2025. Je tam jednoduchý, ale fakt dobrý návod, jak začít tenhle nový rok.

No, a to je od nás lektorek ze slowczech. Všechno. A přeji ti, ať je tvůj rok 2025 plný radosti a velkých pokroků a ať konečně začneš komunikovat s rodinou, s přáteli, s kolegy na té úrovni, jak si přeješ, a ať se v češtině a v Česku cítíš jako doma. Měj se hezky, uč se česky a za celý tým slowczech ahoj.

Are You Struggling to Build Your Czech Vocabulary?Here’s How to Make Real Progress You start learning Czech with excitement, but soon feel overwhelmed by Czech vocabulary and the sheer volume of material? * You’re trying to memorize every word, master every grammar rule, and yet, it feels like you’re not making any real progress? * Maybe you’ve set some goals, but they’re vague,* and you’re unsure how to achieve them? Frustrating, right?

You’re Not Alone—But There’s a Better Way.

Eliška, the founder of slowczech and an expert in language learning, has seen this struggle many times. The key issue? Most Czech learners try to learn everything at once instead of focusing on the vocabulary that’s truly useful for their daily lives. It’s not about cramming—it’s about learning strategically.

The Secret to Expanding Your Czech Vocabulary EffectivelyMany learners believe that to be fluent in Czech, they need to know every single word and grammar rule. But the truth is, fluency is about effective communication, not perfection. Imagine being able to chat with friends, share your thoughts, and navigate daily life in the Czech Republic without stressing over every word.

This is achievable when you focus on building a Czech vocabulary that’s directly relevant to your life.

Discover all the 3 reasonsWhat You’ll Learn in the Last Part of Our Mini CourseIn this episode, Eliška reveals a powerful approach to learning Czech vocabulary:

  • Why trying to learn every word can actually slow down your progress.
  • How to identify and prioritize the most useful vocabulary for your specific needs.
  • A three-step strategy to set clear goals and achieve them faster.
  • The surprising truth about how few words you really need to communicate effectively in Czech.

Imagine Mastering Czech Vocabulary with EasePicture this: You’re ordering food on a Czech app, chatting with locals, or planning a trip—all in Czech. Your conversations flow smoothly, and you’re no longer worried about getting every word right. This is what happens when you focus on the vocabulary that truly matters for your goals.

Ready to Transform Your Czech Vocabulary?Join our last part of the audio mini-course and discover how to make learning Czech more effective and enjoyable. By the end of this course, you’ll know exactly which Czech vocabulary to focus on to start speaking with confidence.

Unlock the Key to Fluent Czech: The Power of ConnectionDiscover Why You Are Far From a Fluent Czech Do you ever feel frustrated when you learn new Czech words, but when it comes time to use them, they slip away and you feel like you will never have fluent Czech? * Does speaking Czech feel like a challenge because you have to pause and think about each word before forming a sentence? * Or do you switch to English to avoid annoying your Czech friends because constructing sentences takes too long?*

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone.

The problem isn’t your motivation or ability—it’s how you’ve been learning Czech vocabulary.Why Learning Vocabulary in Isolation Doesn’t Work to Get Fluent CzechEliška, the founder of slowczech and an experienced language enthusiast, has seen this struggle time and again. After years of guiding foreigners through life in the Czech Republic, she’s pinpointed a key problem: learning vocabulary in isolation just doesn’t work. Your brain thrives on connections—words that are tied to phrases and real-life contexts are far more likely to stick.

Make Connections, Not Lists: The Chunking MethodIn the second episode of our free mini-course, we’ll introduce you to the “chunking” method—a game-changer for your Czech learning. Instead of memorizing single words, you’ll start learning in phrases or “chunks,” making your vocabulary more practical and easier to recall during conversations. Like Donovan Nagel who has learned to speak better Irish in 6 months than many others in many years.

By doing this, you naturally start speaking without overthinking grammar or vocabulary.

Discover all the 3 reasonsWhat You’ll Learn in the Second Part of Our Mini CourseIn this episode, you’ll discover how to:

  • Use chunking to improve your fluency and memory retention.
  • Avoid the pitfalls of isolated vocabulary learning.
  • Build your Czech vocabulary in a way that’s meaningful and practical for your life in the Czech Republic.

Imagine Effortless Czech ConversationsPicture this: Instead of struggling to string together individual words, you’re speaking in complete, natural-sounding phrases. Conversations flow more easily, and you find yourself understanding and using Czech in ways you never thought possible.

Ready to Make Czech a Natural Part of Your Life?Join our free 3-part audio mini-course and transform the way you learn Czech. By the end of the course, you’ll have the tools to build a more natural, connected, and effective vocabulary.

Listen to the second episode now and start speaking Czech like a local.

Struggling to Learn Czech and Speak it?Here’s Why—and How to Fix It. You learn Czech and when you speak to Czechs, they immediately switch to English, leaving you unsure of what to do. * As you improve, you find yourself feeling lost in Czech grammar due to its complexity with cases and verbs. * You would like to start saying things correctly just because they sound right*, but you’re not sure how to reach that point.

If any of these situations resonate with you, you’re not alone.

The problem isn’t your ability to learn—it’s how you’ve been taught to learn.Why Traditional Language Learning Doesn’t WorkEliška, founder of slowczech and a proud mom of two bilingual boys, explains it all in this audio course. After years of helping foreigners learn Czech, she has noticed a common struggle: we’re taught languages backward. Most language courses focus on vocabulary lists and grammar rules, which are not how our brains naturally learn languages.

Speak Czech – Comprehensible Input is the KeyBefore you can confidently speak Czech, you need to receive enough comprehensible input. This means exposing yourself to language that is just above your current level—material that you mostly understand but still challenges you a bit. By doing this, you naturally absorb new words and grammar structures without feeling overwhelmed.

Research supports this approach. Studies by linguist Stephen Krashen have shown that language learners who receive ample comprehensible input progress much faster than those who rely on traditional methods.

Discover all the 3 reasonsWhat You’ll Learn in First Part of Our Mini CourseIn the first episode of our free mini-course, we dive into the importance of getting enough comprehensible input before you start speaking. You’ll learn:

  • Why comprehensible input is crucial for mastering Czech.
  • How to naturally improve your vocabulary and grammar knowledge.
  • Tips for finding the right resources to practice listening and reading in Czech.
  • The surprising benefits of focusing on input first and that you can really learn Czech and speak it.

Imagine Speaking Czech With ConfidencePicture this: You’re in a conversation with native Czechs, and for once, you’re not struggling to keep up. Your pronunciation is clear, your sentences flow naturally, and you’re not constantly second-guessing your grammar. This is the power of getting enough comprehensible input.

Ready to Transform Your Czech?Join our free 3-part audio mini-course and start speaking Czech the way you’ve always wanted. By the end of the course, you’ll have the tools to engage in conversations with ease.

Listen to the first episode now and get started on your journey to speaking fluent, natural Czech.

Enter your email below to access the free mini-course and start improving your Czech immediately. Plus, you’ll receive our “3 Reasons Guide” packed with resources tailored to your level.

Let’s make learning Czech easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

In this heartwarming and candid episode of the slowczech podcast, Eliška greets listeners with her signature warmth and spontaneity. With no script in hand, she dives into an improvised narrative that promises to be as engaging as it is personal.

This particular installment not only offers a glimpse into the slowczech Lab, where learners can access valuable language resources, but also serves as an intimate recounting of Eliška’s own holiday experiences. From the trials of a family Christmas gone awry to the simple joys of festive traditions and community spirit, Eliška’s storytelling invites us to reflect on our own holiday memories and the shared challenges and delights of the season.

So sit back, relax, and join Eliška for an episode that weaves together language learning, life’s unexpected moments, and the true meaning of holiday togetherness.

Hello and welcome to a special Christmas episode of our podcast. Today, you’ll hear from three of our slowczech teachers – Veronika, Šárka, and Daniela – as they share their unique Christmas stories. Whether you’re learning Czech for (lower) intermediate or at advanced level, this episode offers a delightful insight into Czech culture and the varied ways Czechs celebrate the holidays.

Veronika’s Story: Veronika recounts her unconventional Christmas experience in Panama in 2016, marking her first journey outside Europe. Expecting a non-commercial holiday, she was surprised to find Christmas in Panama quite similar to the U.S., with abundant decorations and lights. Seeking a unique celebration, she and her husband spent Christmas Day on a secluded island, encountering rain, tropical mosquitoes, local wildlife, and eventually enjoying a seaside dinner with traditional Panamanian dishes.

Šárka’s Story: Šárka shares a childhood memory that revolves around her fear of the mysterious Ježíšek, who delivers gifts in the Czech Republic. She describes the magical and unseen nature of Ježíšek, leading to her anxiety about possibly seeing him and thus risking not receiving gifts in the future. This story gives listeners a glimpse into traditional Czech Christmas practices and the imaginative world of Czech children.

Daniela’s Story: Daniela narrates a childhood tale focused on decorating the Christmas tree with her brother and the anticipation of edible ornaments, especially chocolate figures. She humorously recounts their sneaky efforts to eat the chocolates before Christmas, leaving empty wrappers on the tree, a common childhood experience during Czech Christmases.
