You are sitting at a Czech babička’s table. Babička is lovely. ❤️ She has cooked for you, she wants you to be happy... and she is currently adding approximately the 28th knedlík to your plate.
You are completely full and actually, you KNOW enough Czech to tell her.
But instead of saying what you really wanted to say, maybe you smile, produce three basic words... or just accept another knedlík. 😅
This game is not about escaping kind Babička. We just need to escape her TABLE before knedlík číslo 28 arrives. 😂
Aaaah, pozor, pozor, there is something else suspicious happening here... you thinking:
“I probably need MORE vocabulary.”
“I need to learn MORE grammar.”
“I should study MORE.”
“Maybe when I know MORE Czech, speaking will finally become easier.”
Hmmmm, this little voice has a name: the MORE Monster.
🎈 why knowing MORE vocabulary and grammar can help your Czech... but doesn't make spontaneous speaking easier
🎈 why you can know a Czech word well during a lesson... and not be able to use it when a Czech human is waiting for your answer
🎈 why you might understand much more Czech than you can currently SAY
🎈 what you can start doing differently if your real goal is not only to KNOW Czech... but to actually USE it with people
No jo, we're not throwing your textbook out of the window 😁 We're just investigating whether LEARNING more is the answer to SPEAKING more.
“I talked to the delivery guy and my physio in Czech and I wasn’t scared anymore.”
Fabian Kuriata from Poland
“For the first time, I could ask for what I wanted in a shop and answer questions in Czech.”
Jose Enriquez from Madrid
“After learning 7 languages, slowczech was the first method that actually helped me speak naturally.”
Bruce Berglund from USA
“I noticed I don’t translate everything in my head anymore. Czech feels more natural now.”
Claire Shih Chienyu from Taiwan
Vůbec ne 😁 You do NOT need to speak Czech fluently. This game is especially for people who already know some Czech but find real conversations much harder than lessons, exercises or understanding Czech.
The game will make the most sense if you already have some Czech inside your head.
Maybe you've studied Czech before, can create basic sentences, understand simple Czech, recognise quite a lot when listening...
but when you actually need to answer someone, Czech suddenly becomes much harder.
If that sounds familiar, jo — come. 😁
Ne! 😁
Vocabulary and grammar absolutely help you grow your Czech.
We're investigating something slightly different:
why learning MORE Czech does not automatically mean that the Czech you know becomes easy to access during a real conversation.
If you want to speak, learning is useful.
But so is learning how to actually USE what is already in your head.

Created by slowczech, a team of Czech tutors obsessed with helping people actually USE Czech in THEIR real life.
I’m based in Brno — a city I love. I’m passionate about traveling, dancing, and personal growth, and I’m always looking to improve. I’m learning languages myself, so I understand the challenges. My lessons focus on speaking, with plenty of space for you to practice. We’ll set your goals together. I can also help you prepare for the A2 exam or CERMAT tests.
I’m a Czech and German tutor. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and helping them feel comfortable in the country they have chosen to live in. I believe that language connects us, opens doors to people, culture, and the feeling of “I belong here.”
When I’m not teaching, I like to ride my bike, dance, walk in nature, garden, or relax with a book and a good glass of wine.
I have been teaching the Czech language my whole life, both as a native language and as a foreign language. I love to laugh and talk a lot. I can’t imagine my life without my big family and books. My life motto is: ‘Every cloud has a silver lining.’ And believe me—it really does! Let’s learn Czech together and discover the beauty of the Czech Republic!
You have the opportunity to enroll in 2 groups lessons per month.
The standard break down is between beginner and advanced students
The decision of the day and time of the lessons is based on a voting system held in Discord.
We will do our best to accomodate everyone!
The videos and podcasts from slowczech Lab complement the free version. You can find them in the respective posts, located in the red section, as shown in the image below.
I am constantly looking for playful and unconventional ways of teaching. I understand the Russian soul and speak Russian myself at a native level. I can help Russian speakers avoid the pitfalls that come with the similarities between 2 languages. I am not afraid to sleep alone in the forest.
Having spent 4 years in Canada, I know how challenging it is to learn a language in a foreign country. I specialize in natural conversations that help you relieve fear of speaking. My passions include history, dance and nature. I enjoy connecting teaching with what interests you!
I’m Anna or rather Anička, and since 2019 I’ve been teaching Czech with a focus on interesting and entertaining methods.

I’m enthusiastic Czech tutor and Spanish interpreter. Tolerance, positive mind, joy and respect are priorities for me – in lessons and in life. I spent some time abroad and I also study languages, so I can understand your needs. I am fascinated by interpersonal relationships, human mind and wonders of nature.
I’m one of the lucky ones whose hobby is their job. I’ve learned ten foreign languages so far, and I’m currently learning German. I understand the challenges of learning Czech, but the feeling of finally getting it is incredible. I love traveling, reading books and spending time outdoors.
I started teaching in 2013 as a volunteer in a Czech village in Ukraine. After teaching in Ukraine and Canada, I joined slowczech full-time. I focus on conversation lessons. I really enjoy getting to know my students! I’m passionate about protecting the environment and volunteer for ecological organizations.
Since 2017, I’ve been teaching Czech to both groups and individuals. I tailor lessons to my students’ preferences, offering exam preparation or fun conversational classes. I believe that language connects us and fosters understanding. I’m also a certified teacher for children and have extensive experience working with kids.
I’m Daniela or Danča. I enjoy working with adults from different cultural backgrounds. To me, Czech is like a beautiful forest that we explore together. Let’s play games, discover new strategies, and share our hobbies in class. I love traveling, swimming, reading, watching films, and singing in a vocal band.

I’m Ema (or Míša), and I fell in love with teaching Czech eight years ago. Learning a language is a journey and I am here to be your guide and help you to enjoy it. Together, we always set a destination (in a week/month/year) and create a detailed itinerary, so we don´t get lost on the way. I love travelling, hiking, yoga, music, and dancing. I have a little baby now. That’s why I also offer WhatsApp and Hybrid lessons.
I’m Barbora, or Bára. Life is amazing with wonderful people, my husband and my child by my side. I’m lucky to have my dream job, helping people understand each other. I enjoy both learning and teaching. I love working on conversation skills and correct pronunciation. Share your stories with me!
I’ve been teaching Czech since 2013, starting with native speakers and later focusing on Czech as a foreign language. It’s my calling to help you with this awesome language. In my classes, we play games, explore idioms and enjoy observing progress. Let’s talk books, movies, dogs, sun in our lessons!
I am experienced tutor for children. I have been working with children since ever and there is no better job! In lessons love using stories, games and pictures. We always laugh a lot. Besides teaching, I enjoy meditation and spending time outside.
I’m Marie, your friendly tutor and slowczech manager. I love connecting with students, fostering love for learning, and indulging in some Czech language nerdiness. I’m a Prague native, and I also love getting out of the city to hike and explore. Podcasts, British comedy, DnD, and spending time with my cat!
I’m creative content manager and tutor from Ostrava. As a tutor, translator, and course coordinator, I understand that every student is unique and requires a personalized approach. Whether you’re refining grammar or starting from scratch, I will help you. I incorporate real-life materials. Seeing your progress brings me joy!
I’m the slowczech tutor and e-shop manager living in Brno. Having lived in Spain and Russia, I love travelling – exploring new places brings me joy.

I’m Monika, or Monča, slowczech event & good mood manager. I love meaningful conversations and meeting new people. Languages and cultures are my passion. I was living in France, England and Vietnam. As a Czech tutor, I focus on understanding your needs and creating a positive, supportive environment.
I am a Prague-based Czech tutor. Let’s conquer language fears together! I know how to tailor our lessons and ask you about your goals. Is it chatting over beer, work emails, university studies, family connections? I adore languages, plants, sitcoms, books, documentaries, ping-pong, and nature trips.
I am slowczech founder and from my experience I know two things: beginners can understand words with time. And enjoyable input is vital for natural language acquisition. Many give up Czech due to old methods, irrelevant vocabulary or overwhelming grammar. Let’s change that and make learning Czech exciting and effective.
