From SAFE mode to SPEAKING mode

How to use podcasts & videos
to train real-life reactions

reaplay from LIVE SESSION from 27 February with Eliška 

how-to-use-czech-podcasts-and-videos-the-right-way-with-slowczech-workshop-sales-page-image WEBP

You listen, watch, repeat, read transcripts…

… you maybe even track your progress, try to use the freshly learned words in a café or with your friends. 

But still… ale přece…

The sentence or word is in your head but it doesn’t come out.

You freeze, nod, switch to English.

You ask people “pomalu, prosím” or “ještě jednou, prosím”.

Ano, you feel safe while listening… but then when the delivery guy is looking at you and waiting for your fast response…

nic. Nothing there. 

And you feel this huuuge gap between understanding and speaking. 

This doesnt feel good 🙁

JAK TO? How Come?

You are an amazing thoughtful adult.
You can learn to speak Czech, I know that!

Just you learned and trained Czech in safe mode:

listening → transcript → vocabulary → repeat.

That is wonderful, that builds comprehension but NOT the reaction. And this is what we want!

Speaking is reaction.

What this workshop is all about:

Firstly, let me tell you that this is not a “tips for podcasts” session or “listen 3x, write new words, say them out loud, put in ANKI app…”

This is a speaking rewire session, wohooo! :-))

In 67 minutes, you will learn how to:

  • STAY in the conversation even when you don’t understand everything

  • STOP PANICKING when fast speech hits

  • REACT instead of TRANSLATING

  • make ENDINGS start coming more automatically

  • build GRAMMAR INTUITION without grammar stress

  • turn passive words into USABLE sentences

We are not adding new content or complicated work with paper and pencil at 30 minutes with your headphones…

Nope, nenene.

Weare changing how your brain uses what you already consume.

On the go.

Just few minutes of your favourite podcast/video.

Víš co? You know what?

You don’t need more material.

You need deeper contact with what you already have in your phone.

One 5-minute episode, trained properly, can build more speaking skills than 5 hours of passive listening.

What we will TRAIN TOGETHER:

I will show you 7 concrete methods including:

  • training tolerance for imperfection (so you don’t freeze)

  • listening for rhythm instead of translating word by word

  • finding and using chunks that actually come out of your mouth

  • interrupting and reacting in real time

  • stretching one structure until grammar becomes intuitive

  • connecting Czech to real-life environment

  • visualising and rehearsing real situations 

You will see examples and try on your own so that next time when you press PLAY,… you know what to do.

Participant feedback from the slowczech workshop “From SAFE Mode to SPEAKING Mode” about using podcasts and videos to train real-life Czech reactions.

What will slow(czech)ly change:

If you apply these mehods, you will notice:

  • more tolerance for fast speech

  • better emotional understanding through melody, rhytm…

  • faster reactions

  • more automatic endings without thinking about them

  • more natural rhythm

  • easier sentence building

A hlavně you will start feeling like someone who can stay in Czech.

This workshop is for you if:

  • you consume Czech content but still freeze in real conversations

  • you don’t wanna more content, you want speaking progress

  • you are thoughtful, serious and ready to move from understanding to reacting

  • you want Czech to feel natural, not like a test

Co přesně?

A víš co? I caaaaaaan’t wait to show you how powerful the (slowczech or any Czech) content can be.

Because no need to study more, listen more,… its about switching from safe mode to speaking mode.

Tak co?

Let’s make your Czech finally stick, co ty na to? :))

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.
