Czech Your Day

Send Renča a text 😉This episode is so special.Why? Because Mir is openly talking about his failure during the first attempt for his A2 exam. Why did he fail? 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? (Part 1) - S02E48What Questions Would Renča Ask a Potential Tutor? (part 2) - S02E54

Send Renča a text 😉In this episode, my student Cilia is sharing her experience with the preparation for her A2 exam in Czech as well as the exam itself. And how about her Czech in the future?Thank you so much, Cilia, for sharing your views and journey with us. Quick note: I forgot to use the cable at the first part of the talk. That's why there is a brief moment when our talk sounds weird. I don't normally edit these talks so that it's as authentic as possible. I had to edit out the part when I was searching for the cable this time. My apologies. - See, nobody is perfect.

Send Renča a text 😉I am so glad Karin has agreed to record this talk with me.Why is this episode so special?⭐️ Karin is overcoming her fear of speaking Czech ⭐️ she has reached such a level that she could have this talk in Czech - how has she achieved that?⭐️ Karin is a teacher - so what it's like to teach a teacher? And what does she think about my 15-minute lessons (as a teacher)? And my community?This talk is about having fun, huge personal journey and so much more. It's definitely worth listening.Thank you, Karin, for your patience - waiting for 7 months for my lessons, that's a lot.And that's the reason I am opening my community. You will get the chance to learn Czech with me without waiting for my lessons for months.

Send Renča a text 😉Renča has created a short story about Martin's day. Why? It will give you a chance to practice all the verbs in the 3rd person (masculine) as well as time (v půl sedmé, ve tři čtvrtě na pět etc.), places and exressions useful when you want to talk about your day.If you are a beginner or you struggle with listening, use the part in the slow mode first. 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/

My student Scott doesn't know a single case in Czech, yet he manages to have a phone call in Czech or understands what his Czech colleagues talk about (fast) in Czech.Don't miss this episode. It's definitely worth listening.BIG THANKS TO SCOTT for shooting this episode with me.I haven't edited our conversation at all. We did it in one take (even with my intro and outro). The only thing I added was the jingle (intro and outro).Why? Because I wanted you to experience the real - my mistakes, my nervousness, etc. See - nobody is perfect. But we get better over time if we give it a chance.I hope this episode will help tons of you realize many things.BTW Scott doesn't give himself enough credit. Yes, he doesn't practice quizzes much in his free time (practice in a traditional sense). BUT if you listen carefully, you will find out he does MUCH MORE!AND THAT'S THE REASON HE HAS SUCCEEDED AND WHY HE WILL GET MUCH, MUCH BETTER.The link (COMMUNITY Czech Your Day): https://czech-me.com/join-community-czech-your-day/
