Why You Freeze When Speaking Czech (And How to Respond Faster)

You know the words. You’ve been doing your Czech lessons, listening to podcasts, repeating phrases…
But then a Czech person talks to you, and—bam—you go blank.
Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. That freezing moment? It’s not your fault. It’s not about not knowing enough.
It’s about your brain freaking out and switching into survival mode.
In this video, we break down exactly why this happens—and more importantly, how you can stop it.

In real-life conversations, your brain needs to feel safe to access the Czech you already know.
