Czech learners, have you ever sat in a room full of Czech speakers and felt completely invisible?

You smile, nod, catch a few words here and there… but deep down, you feel like a stranger in your own home.

Many expats in the Czech Republic dream of feeling included and understood, not just at the supermarket but at family dinners, school events, or over a drink with Czech friends.

Maybe you are one of them. 

Here are 3 powerful things you can do this week to start building your independence in Czech:

1. ☺️ Choose one person and build a connection.

- Pick someone whose company you enjoy. A neighbor, a teacher, your partner’s friend.

- Ask a simple question. Use what you know. 

- Practice showing up, even imperfectly.

2. 🧠 Learn chunks, not grammar rules.

- Instead of memorizing declension charts and endings, learn full phrases you can reuse (e.g. Chtěla bych se objednat - I’d like to make an appointment.).

- It’s faster, more natural, and easier to remember.

- Try my YouTube Shorts, it's quick and effective: https://lnkd.in/enjC7hDH

3. 🧍‍♀️ Build your “I can do this” energy.

- Before real-life interactions, pause and say to yourself:

 "I don’t need to be perfect. I just need to try."

- Confidence is a skill. And you can build it!

👉 And if you feel like it’s all too much, let me tell you that you don’t have to go through it alone!

In my 10-week group transformational program (https://lnkd.in/ej2w-WPM), we don’t just focus on language. 

We work on mindset, confidence, and real-life communication so you can speak Czech with more ease and joy.

The current round of the program is already running. A small group of amazing people supporting each other, and after just 3 weeks, they’re already noticing real shifts. Yesterday, a current participant shared this insight:

"I realized my approach to learning Czech was full of tension and pressure. Now, I see Czech as a friend, not an enemy. And suddenly, the process feels more pleasant, more effective, and more sustainable."

👉 A new round starts soon, and there are only 6 spots available.
