Czech Your Day

Send Renča a text 😉

Renee’s Czech journey continues — and this time, we talk about something many language learners struggle with: time.

What happens when life gets busy and you simply don't have as much time for Czech as you would like?

How does it affect your lessons? Your confidence? Your progress?

In Part 3 of Renée’s diary, we talk honestly about the challenges of fitting Czech into everyday life, what happens when there isn't enough time to prepare, and why the way you use your learning time matters.

And, as always, there are a few unexpected moments and small wins along the way. 😊

Renee is preparing for her A2 exam, but this journey is about much more than an exam. It's about finding a way to make Czech part of real life — even when life doesn't go according to plan.

Listen to Part 3 and follow Renee’s journey.

One more week. One more conversation. And a transformation neither of us expected so soon.

In this episode, Renee shares what happened after just one more week of learning Czech with me through our 15-minute individual lessons, combined with her daily practice using all the materials inside the Czech Your Day Community.

We talk about confidence, pronunciation, everyday Czech, and the mindset shift that completely changed the way she learns.

What surprised her the most? It wasn't learning more words.

It was finally feeling ready to use Czech in real life.

If you're learning Czech and sometimes feel overwhelmed or anxious, this episode might change the way you think about learning.

Don't study Czech. Experience it.

Today you'll meet someone very special — my dog Sára. 🐶

In this Czech story, you'll follow Sára's journey to the vet and discover what happened before and after her surgery.

As you listen, you'll naturally hear useful Czech expressions for real-life situations, including how to talk about what someone can, has to, and mustn't do.

This episode is perfect for A2 learners who want to improve their listening, understand Czech, and build confidence through stories.

In this episode you'll practice:

⭐️ modal verbs: moct, muset, smět, nesmět, etc.
⭐️ vocabulary connected with the vet and health
⭐️ phone call conversation
⭐️ listening to Czech in context

Don't worry if you don't understand everything the first time. Listen again, use the free handout, check the English translation, and let your Czech improve step by step.

This is part 1 in the series. Renee has agreed to tracking down her progress. She contacted me after 10 months of unsuccessful learning. How is it for her after the first week of having 15-minute lessons every day + intense work in the Czech Your Day Community? Can she see any difference after only a few lessons? Listen to this series because it's really worth it.

Would you like to practice/learn expressions and questions from the topics ABOUT ME (= O MNĚ), MÍT RÁD(A), RÁD(A), CHUTNAT as well as HOBBIES in Czech? Then this story is the right fit for you.

If you don't understand the differences in usage of chutnat, mít rád etc., check previous episodes in this podcast or go to my YouTube channel. I have created short dialogues that will show you how to use them - it's better then watching long videos with grammatical explanations 😉👍

This episode is so special.

Why? Because Mir is openly talking about his failure during the first attempt for his A2 exam. Why did he fail? What happened next before meeting me and starting a new chapter in his learning journey that lead to his SUCCESS?

Why 58 x 90-minute traditional lessons didn't lead him to success?

How is it possible that the equivalent of 9 lessons with me (54 x 15-minute lessons = 9 x 90-minute lessons) was more than enough for him to pass the A2 exam with confidence?

This was not only about learning vocabulary. This was also about overcoming a trauma. 

I am not a therapist. I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist either - yet there are situations in the life of a tutor when special methods, huge doses of empathy and gentle approach combined with pushing the student at the right moments for him to be able to overcome the obstacles and succeed - all of this combined is simply necessary...

The episodes Mir is talking about:
