Textbook Czech vs real Czech: Why you still can’t use what you learned (#1 Speak Czech in real life)

Learn Czech naturally and finally speak real Czech in real life ... not the stiff, dusty Czech from old textbooks.
If you’ve ever opened your mouth and felt your brain whisper "..... nope”, this episode is for you.

You’ll see why you can know Czech… and still freeze when someone says “Tak co, dáš si pivo?”
And most importantly, how to fix it in a way that feels warm, playful, and human.

✨ In this episode you’ll learn:
• why textbook Czech feels safe… but useless in real conversations
• the real reason you freeze when speaking Czech
• the “bábovka method” for choosing exactly what to practise
• how Czechs actually speak (the hele, že jo, no jóó, víš co? universe)
• the one habit that makes speaking Czech so much easier
• how to prepare for real moments: doktor, školka, tchýně, zásilkovna — all of it

🌿 Maybe this feels familiar:
You study vocabulary… but can’t say what you need.
You learn cases… but panic when the delivery guy calls.
You know words… but not the right sentences for your real life.

This episode shifts that.
