I’m Not Dumb, I’m Just Speaking Czech


Listen Later

Feel like you become a “smaller version” of yourself when speaking Czech?

Hey Czech learner, let’s stop pretending you’re not smart. You’re thoughtful, expressive, and probably hilarious in your native language. But in Czech? You feel like you’re reduced to “Mám ráda kávu.”

This podcast episode—hosted by slowczech founder and Czech teacher Eliška—is for you if…

  • You’ve learned vocabulary but still can’t hold a natural conversation

  • You freeze when trying to chat with your Czech neighbor

  • You feel like a textbook robot instead of a real human

  • You wonder, “Where, sakra, are the results?!”

Let’s change that.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why the traditional methods (textbooks, Duolingo, grammar drills) keep you stuck in “learner” mode
How to stop playing small and start speaking big—even with mistakes
3 practical, simple actions to feel like yourself in Czech (starting today!)
How to reconnect your brain and mouth and bring your personality back
Why real conversations matter more than perfect grammar

Because the truth is: you’re not dumb. You’re just trying to speak a new language in a way that doesn’t fit who you are. So let’s speak real Czech. Let’s express emotions, jokes, sarcasm, your beliefs, your voice.

That’s exactly what we do inside the slowczech Lab—a no-pressure space where everyday Czech, repetition, confidence, and connection matter more than perfection.
