Ahoj, čau. Dneska pro tebe mám sedm slangový výrazů, které musíš znát. První je slovo cajk nebo taky říkáme to je v cajku nebo to je cajk. Víš, co to znamená? Řeknu ti situaci, kamarád mi píše esemesku. A píše hele, nestíhám, můžeme se sejít za hodinu? A já mu odepíšu. Jo, jasně, cajk. To znamená to je v pořádku. To není problém, to je cajk. Druhý výraz je To je vo ničem. Víš, kdy říct To je vo ničem? Zase mám pro tebe situaci. Jdu do kina, dívám se na film. No a potom se mě někdo zeptá: Hele, jakej byl ten film? A já říkám ne! Hrůza, byl vo ničem. To znamená, ten film nestojí za to. Ten film byl nuda. Mně se nelíbil. Prostě podruhé už ten film vidět nechci. Byl o ničem. Další je výraz Tady hledám jednu věc. Zabít, zabít čas. Ale já nechci nikoho zabít. Zabít čas znamená, že hledám nějakou zábavu. Třeba jedu vlakem někam pryč a čekám na další spoj. Mám dvě hodiny čas a nějak chci ty dvě hodiny zabít. Chci ten čas zabít. Chci si najít nějakou zábavu. Tak třeba jdu do kavárny, dám si kafe a čtu si knížku. A tak zabiju ten čas. Pak tady mám výraz. Mám nervy v kýblu. To je kýbl. A když řeknu, mám nervy v kýblu. To znamená, měla jsem celý den stres. Už už toho je moc. Už prostě nechci víc poslouchat. Nechci víc dělat. Nechci nic. Potřebuju pauzu. Potřebuju klid. Už mám toho dost. To stejné třeba je. Mám toho plný brejle nebo mám toho plný kecky. Už je toho tak. Už je toho moc. Stačí. A pak ještě mám spojení další. A to je Mám vokno. Víš, kdy říct Mám vokno? Já mám vokno Tady doma, Tady to je moje okno. Ale když řeknu, že mám vokno, to znamená, že najednou myšlenka je pryč. A poslední výraz, to ti řeknu situaci. Pracuju v nějaké firmě, mám šéfa a pracuju na projektu. Ale udělala jsem velkou chybu. No, a dostala jsem od šéfa čočku. To znamená čočka je tohle, to je čočka. Ale když dostanu čočku, to znamená, že někdo se na mě zlobí. Ten šéf se zlobil a křičel na mě. Byl nespokojený, protože jsem udělala chybu. To znamená dostat čočku. Tak co? Jaká fráze? Jaké slangové spojení nebo výraz se ti líbí? A je to cajk. Těším se, že se třeba potkáme na nějaké lekci nebo ve slowczech Lab. No a jinak se měj moc hezky a čau. A teď mám pro tebe úkol. Napiš si na papír všechny výrazy, které si z videa pamatuješ. Znáš i nějaké jiné?

Ahoj, tady Eliška!Mám otázku.Ever feel like you’re just watching Czech conversations happen around you—nodding, smiling, but not really part of them? You’re not alone!Stop Watching 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? It’s not about memorizing endless grammar rules or stuffing your brain with vocabulary lists. It’s about connecting—understanding, responding naturally, and feeling at ease when speaking. And yet, traditional methods keep leaving learners stuck in “textbook Czech,” unable to flow in real conversations.So, let’s change that!Here’s what you can do today to start feeling at home in Czech: Surround yourself with Czech you actually understand. Watch slowczech videos, listen to podcasts, and engage with content that’s just a little above your level. Shift your mindset! Instead of saying, “I’m learning Czech,” start saying, “I speak Czech and connect easily in conversations.” That tiny change? It’s a game-changer for your confidence.

Have you ever wondered about the difference between “jíst” (to eat) and “papat” (a child-friendly term for eating) or between “spát” (to sleep) and “spinkat”?In this episode, Petra shares relatable situations that demonstrate how parents use these playful terms when talking to their young children.

Já tě moc zdravím.Víš, jaký je rozdíl mezi jíst a papat? Nebo mezi spát a spinkat? Papat a spinkat, to je dětská řeč. Já jsem slyšela často během svých lekcí i v komunikaci s cizinci to, že používaly dětskou řeč. I když mluvily o sobě. A jestli chceš mít v tomhle tématu trošku víc jasno, tak si poslechni některé moje podcasty, které se tomuto tématu věnujou. A dneska ti povím takový základ. Představ si situaci, kdy v kuchyní je maminka, tatínek, třeba Martin, a syn Tomáš. Syn Tomáš má čtyři nebo pět let, plus mínus. A maminka říká tatínkovi, Martine, co si dáš dneska k snídani? Co budeš jíst? A pak se zeptá syna a řekne, Tomášku, co budeš papat? Dáš si sýreček nebo si dáš páreček nebo něco jiného? Takže papat maminka použije pro toho syna, ne pro tatínka. Nebo jiná situace. Představ si, že je večer a tatínek Martin řekne, já už jsem unavený, už si půjdu lehnout, už půjdu spát. A maminka řekne Tomáškovi, Tomášku, už je moc pozdě, už půjdeme spinkat. Už půjdeme spinkat. Nebo ještě jiná situace. Třeba Tomášek se zraní a maminka říká, jejej ty máš bebí, bebí je to zranění. Takže i pro substantiva máme spoustu různých tvarů. Ta dětská řeč je hodně zajímavá a určitě stojí za to se o tom dozvědět trošku víc. No a jestli i ty chceš víc rozumět, co říkají Češi a cítit se tady víc jako doma, jestli chceš víc komunikovat s rodinou, mít větší sebevědomí, doporučuji přidat se do našeho šestiměsíčního programu slowczech Lab, je to online program, trénuješ tam reálnou češtinu, budeš komunikovat i s dalšími členy komunity, čeká tě dvanáct skupinových lekcí a moc to doporučuju, protože si myslím, že za půl roku můžeš udělat velký pokrok a že to určitě stojí za to, budeš se cítit líp a já se moc těším na případnou spolupráci, na to, že se uvidíme, uslyšíme a určitě si pusť nějaké další podcasty nebo videa, kterých je pro tebe připravena spousta.Měj se krásně a někdy naviděnou, naslyšenou, ahoj Petra. free “Real Czech Starter Kit”: slowczech.com/kit/pod Immersion Program: www.slowczech.com/immersion/pod The post 312 Podcast episode by Petra: Children’s Language -Difference between “jíst” and “papat” appeared first on slowczech.

How to Learn Czech Grammar the slowczech WayAhoj, tady Eliška!Are you struggling or confused what is the best way to learn Czech grammar?You know the rules, you’ve studied the cases, but when it’s time to speak, your mind goes blank.Sound familiar? Traditional methods make Czech grammar feel like a puzzle—one that takes years to solve. But what if there was a better way?At slowczech, we believe that mastering Czech grammar shouldn’t be about memorizing rules—it should be about learning to use them naturally.In this video, we’ll break down why grammar-focused learning holds you back and show you a practical, real-life approach to learning Czech with confidence. Why Grammar-Heavy Learning Doesn’t WorkMost traditional language courses drill grammar into your head but never teach you how to use it. You spend hours learning tables and endings—mluvím, mluvíš, mluví, mluvíme…—but when you need to speak, you hesitate.Why? Because you’re trying to recall a rule instead of communicating.The truth is, you don’t need perfect grammar to start speaking Czech. You need confidence and practice in real-life situations. The slowczech method helps you do exactly that.The slowczech Way: Learn Grammar Through SpeakingInstead of focusing on drills, our method helps you absorb Czech grammar naturally through listening, speaking, and real-life practice. Here’s how:1. Stop Aiming for PerfectionCzech natives won’t judge you for small grammar mistakes. They care about understanding you, not your endings. Even Czechs don’t speak textbook-perfect Czech in daily life! So, instead of freezing up, focus on getting your message across.2. Speak First, Correct LaterConfidence comes from speaking—not from memorizing tables. The best way to internalize grammar is to use it in conversation. The more you practice, the more automatic it becomes.3. Learn Grammar in ContextForget grammar books filled with unnatural sentences. Learn through real-life dialogues and role plays that mimic situations you actually face: ordering coffee, making plans, or chatting with colleagues.Real-Life Czech Practice with slowczechWe designed the Grammar Challenge to help learners stop overthinking and start speaking. Each day, you’ll get bite-sized lessons, real-life dialogues, and practice exercises that build your confidence step by step.

Asi nejvíc mě mrzí situace, které se odehrávají v rodině. Určitě taky znáš tuhle chvíli. Něco řeknu a hned vím, že to bylo špatně, protože to druhému ublížilo.

První otázka, co se ti v roce 2024 povedlo? Tak mně se povedlo uběhnout půlmaraton a jsem moc ráda, protože trénink mi trval víc než dva roky, ale zvládla jsem to.Otázka druhá, co se ti nepovedlo?

A tobě do nového roku přeju všechno dobré, přeju klid v duši a přeji hodně zdraví. A moc doufám, že se potkáme ať už na lekci nebo třeba někde jinde osobně.

Unlock the Key to Fluent Czech: The Power of ConnectionDiscover Why You Are Far From a Fluent CzechDo you ever feel frustrated when you learn new Czech words, but when it comes time to use them, they slip away and you feel like you will never have fluent Czech?Does speaking Czech feel like a challenge because you have to pause and think about each word before forming a sentence?Or do you switch to English to avoid annoying your Czech friends because constructing sentences takes too long?If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone.The problem isn’t your motivation or ability—it’s how you’ve been learning Czech vocabulary.Why Learning Vocabulary in Isolation Doesn’t Work to Get Fluent CzechEliška, the founder of slowczech and an experienced language enthusiast, has seen this struggle time and again. After years of guiding foreigners through life in the Czech Republic, she’s pinpointed a key problem: learning vocabulary in isolation just doesn’t work. Your brain thrives on connections—words that are tied to phrases and real-life contexts are far more likely to stick.Make Connections, Not Lists: The Chunking MethodIn the second episode of our free mini-course, we’ll introduce you to the “chunking” method—a game-changer for your Czech learning. Instead of memorizing single words, you’ll start learning in phrases or “chunks,” making your vocabulary more practical and easier to recall during conversations.

Struggling to Learn Czech and Speak it?Here’s Why—and How to Fix It.You learn Czech and when you speak to Czechs, they immediately switch to English, leaving you unsure of what to do.As you improve, you find yourself feeling lost in Czech grammar due to its complexity with cases and verbs.You would like to start saying things correctly just because they sound right, but you’re not sure how to reach that point.If any of these situations resonate with you, you’re not alone.The problem isn’t your ability to learn—it’s how you’ve been taught to learn.Why Traditional Language Learning Doesn’t WorkEliška, founder of slowczech and a proud mom of two bilingual boys, explains it all in this audio course. After years of helping foreigners learn Czech, she has noticed a common struggle: we’re taught languages backward. Most language courses focus on vocabulary lists and grammar rules, which are not how our brains naturally learn languages.Speak Czech – Comprehensible Input is the KeyBefore you can confidently speak Czech, you need to receive enough comprehensible input. This means exposing yourself to language that is just above your current level—material that you mostly understand but still challenges you a bit. By doing this, you naturally absorb new words and grammar structures without feeling overwhelmed.Research supports this approach. Studies by linguist Stephen Krashen have shown that language learners who receive ample comprehensible input progress much faster than those who rely on traditional methods. Discover all the 3 reasons What You’ll Learn in First Part of Our Mini Course In the first episode of our free mini-course, we dive into the importance of getting enough comprehensible input before you start speaking. You’ll learn:Why comprehensible input is crucial for mastering Czech.How to naturally improve your vocabulary and grammar knowledge.Tips for finding the right resources to practice listening and reading in Czech.The surprising benefits of focusing on input first and that you can really learn Czech and speak it.Imagine Speaking Czech With ConfidencePicture this: You’re in a conversation with native Czechs, and for once, you’re not struggling to keep up. Your pronunciation is clear, your sentences flow naturally, and you’re not constantly second-guessing your grammar. This is the power of getting enough comprehensible input.Ready to Transform Your Czech?Join our free 3-part audio mini-course and start speaking Czech the way you’ve always wanted.

Hello and welcome to a special Christmas episode of our podcast. Today, you’ll hear from three of our slowczech teachers – Veronika, Šárka, and Daniela – as they share their unique Christmas stories. Whether you’re learning Czech for (lower) intermediate or at advanced level, this episode offers a delightful insight into Czech culture and the varied ways Czechs celebrate the holidays. Veronika’s Story: Veronika recounts her unconventional Christmas experience in Panama in 2016, marking her first journey outside Europe. Expecting a non-commercial holiday, she was surprised to find Christmas in Panama quite similar to the U.S., with abundant decorations and lights. Seeking a unique celebration, she and her husband spent Christmas Day on a secluded island, encountering rain, tropical mosquitoes, local wildlife, and eventually enjoying a seaside dinner with traditional Panamanian dishes. Šárka’s Story: Šárka shares a childhood memory that revolves around her fear of the mysterious Ježíšek, who delivers gifts in the Czech Republic. She describes the magical and unseen nature of Ježíšek, leading to her anxiety about possibly seeing him and thus risking not receiving gifts in the future. This story gives listeners a glimpse into traditional Czech Christmas practices and the imaginative world of Czech children. Daniela’s Story: Daniela narrates a childhood tale focused on decorating the Christmas tree with her brother and the anticipation of edible ornaments, especially chocolate figures. She humorously recounts their sneaky efforts to eat the chocolates before Christmas, leaving empty wrappers on the tree, a common childhood experience during Czech Christmases.
