Unlock the Key to Fluent Czech: The Power of Connection
Discover Why You Are Far From a Fluent Czech
- Do 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 Czech
Eliška, 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 Method
In 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. Like Donovan Nagel who has learned to speak better Irish in 6 months than many others in many years.
By doing this, you naturally start speaking without overthinking grammar or vocabulary.
What You’ll Learn in the Second Part of Our Mini Course
In this episode, you’ll discover how to:
- Use chunking to improve your fluency and memory retention.
- Avoid the pitfalls of isolated vocabulary learning.
- Build your Czech vocabulary in a way that’s meaningful and practical for your life in the Czech Republic.
Imagine Effortless Czech Conversations
Picture this: Instead of struggling to string together individual words, you’re speaking in complete, natural-sounding phrases. Conversations flow more easily, and you find yourself understanding and using Czech in ways you never thought possible.

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.
