Chceš taky umět vyprávět historky ze svého života? Tak poslouchej dál. Už je to několik roků, co jsem jela s manželem na Slovensko. Chtěli jsme navštívit Tatry. Tatry jsou krásné hory. Bylo už po sezóně, takže tam nebyli moc turisti. Šli jsme na túru. Turisty jsme opravdu neviděli, ale viděli jsme horská zvířata. Nejdřív jsme viděli kamzíky a muflony. To jsou horský kozy. Věděli jsme, že tam jsou i medvědi, ale nečekali jsme, že medvěda uvidíme. A potom se manžel zastavil a říká, podívej, támhle je medvěd. Nejdřív jsem mu nevěřila, ale pak jsem se podívala a uviděla jsem ho taky. Byl veliký a byl docela blízko. Asi 300 metrů a šel k nám. Nevěděla jsem, co mám dělat. Byla jsem totálně paralyzovaná.Když jsem se zeptala manžela, co mám dělat, dal mi do ruky foťák a řekl, foť. A tak jsem fotila. Medvěd o nás nevěděl. Chvíli jsme tam stáli a dívali se na něj a potom jsme šli dál. Byl to ale adrenalin. A to není všechno. Když jsme potom přišli do vesnice, museli jsme stopovat auta, protože vlák ani autobus už žádný nejel. No a koho jsme si stopli? Policajty. Z dálky jsme neviděli, že je to policejní auto a když byli blízko a už jsme věděli, že je to policie, tak už zastavovali. Takže nás domů dovezli policajti a v autě jsme jim ukazovali naše video medvěda. Nemohli tomu uvěřit. Říkali, že chodí do hor často, ale medvěda tam nikdy nepotkali. A co ty? Umíš vyprávět historky v češtině nebo ti chybí slova, když mluvíš česky? S tím ti ve slowczech rádi pomůžeme. Přidej se k nám a taky nám dej hvězdičku na Spotify a řekni o nás svým kamarádům, co se učí česky. Nás tak budeš motivovat dělat to, co děláme a kamarádům pomůžeš zlepšit si češtinu a bavit se přitom.   Mini Quiz – Test Your Czech Listening!Ready to check how well you understood Veronika’s story?Here are 5 questions.

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. Ready to supercharge your 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?
