F*uck the levels. Speak Czech now!

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.
