How to Learn Czech Grammar the slowczech Way Ahoj, 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 Work Most 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 Speaking Instead 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 Perfection Czech 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 Later Confidence 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 Context Forget 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 slowczech We 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 Overthinking If 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! Have a Czech grammar frustration? Drop a comment below and let’s find a way together.

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. Daniela Ahoj, 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. Jindra Ahoj. 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. Petra Ahoj, 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 Effectively Many 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 reasons What You’ll Learn in the Last Part of Our Mini Course In 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 Ease Picture this: You’re ordering food on a Czech app, chatting with locals, or planning a trip— all in Czech.

Unlock the Key to Fluent Czech: The Power of Connection Discover 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 Czech Eliška, 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 Method In 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 reasons What You’ll Learn in the Second Part of Our Mini Course In 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 Conversations Picture 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?

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 Work Eliška, 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 Key Before 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 reasons What You’ll Learn in First Part of Our Mini Course In 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 Confidence Picture 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.
