People struggle with Czech for years and often believe it’s their fault.

🟡 I recently started working with two new clients.

They are completely different people, and yet they have so much in common.

We’re still at the beginning, we’ve only had two lessons so far.

But already, I can see something very familiar, something I see with my clients again and again.

1. Both of them have been learning Czech for years. They’ve tried courses, textbooks, apps, and podcasts. And still, they feel like none of it really fits together.

2. Real conversations with Czechs feel frustrating and scary. They freeze, the conversation fades away, or it quickly switches to English.

3. Their lessons were focused mainly on grammar, exercises, and rules. Then they closed the textbook, and Czech almost didn’t exist between lessons.

People struggle like this for years and often believe it’s their fault. But it isn’t!

Very often, changing just a few small things is enough for everything to start moving.

At the beginning, we always set one clear, real-life communication goal. Everything else grows from that.

Yes, we work on grammar too. But only the grammar that naturally comes from the goal and from real conversations.

We focus a lot on speaking, and I intentionally create a safe space where clients can try without fear of mistakes.

We also set a simple, sustainable plan for between lessons:

- how to review new phrases and expressions

- what to listen to to get enough input,

- and how Czech can become part of everyday life, not just something for lessons.

If you’ve been learning Czech for a long time and still feel stuck, this is what I want you to know:

You’re not broken or stupid, and you don't need to try harder. You just need to start approaching Czech differently. Send me a message, and we’ll figure it out together.
