[EN] Why you understand Czech but still feel like an outsider (with Eliška)

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!
