Czech Your Day

Send Renča a text 😉Renee had spent 10 months taking individual 90-minute Czech lessons with one goal: to prepare for her A2 exam.But as the exam was getting closer, she realised she wasn’t ready.That’s when she contacted me.And we had just six weeks.When we started working together, it became clear that we weren’t simply filling a few gaps or doing final exam practice. There were important foundations missing, and in many ways, we had to start from the beginning.Now those six weeks are over.And Renee has taken the exam.So… what happened?In Part 5 of Renee’s Diary | A2 Journey, we sit down after the exam and talk about what happened on exam day — but also about something much bigger.What can really change in six weeks?What surprised Renee about the way she had been learning Czech before?What does she think about her Czech now?And after 10 months of individual lessons followed by six very different weeks… what did this experience teach her about learning a language?This isn’t just a story about passing or failing an exam.It’s a story about what progress can actually look like.Listen to Renee tell it in her own words.Want to experience Czech differently?Renee spent these six weeks working with Czech inside the Czech Your Day Community and through our intensive A2 preparation.If you’ve been learning Czech for months — maybe even years — but still feel that what you study isn’t becoming Czech you can actually use, you can explore the Community and discover a different way of experiencing the language.EXPLORE CZECH YOUR DAY COMMUNITYDon’t study Czech.

What happened next before meeting me and starting a new chapter in his learning journey that lead to his SUCCESS?Why 58 x 90-minute traditional lessons didn't lead him to success?How is it possible that the equivalent of 9 lessons with me (54 x 15-minute lessons = 9 x 90-minute lessons) was more than enough for him to pass the A2 exam with confidence?This was not only about learning vocabulary. This was also about overcoming a trauma. I am not a therapist. I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist either - yet there are situations in the life of a tutor when special methods, huge doses of empathy and gentle approach combined with pushing the student at the right moments for him to be able to overcome the obstacles and succeed - all of this combined is simply necessary...The episodes Mir is talking about:What Questions Would Renča Ask a Potential Tutor?

Listen to it without a handout at first. It may be frustrating, I know. But your ears need to get used to the Czech sounds and words. Try to understand from the context as much as possible. Then use the handout. If you still struggle, use the translations on my website. Once you feel comfortable (it may take several days), push yourself and listen repeatedly to the fast version (without a handout). It may be really challenging at first, but don't give up. It's just like in the gym - your ears need to get used to the "heavy weights" (= fast mode). Listening to the episode just once isn't enough.I highly recommend you to download the handout + check the article with English translations here: https://czech-me.com/yesterdays-tale-a-peek-into-martins-day-co-vcera-delal-martins02-e57-daily-podcast-czech-your-day/The list of all episodes is here: https://czech-me.com/daily-podcast-czech-your-day/The link (COMMUNITY Czech Your Day): https://czech-me.com/join-community-czech-your-day/
