You know the basic tenses, you have a reasonable vocabulary, and you may have already completed several online courses. But when someone starts speaking English to you, you suddenly struggle to find the right words. Sound familiar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You are not alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There are thousands of people who have been learning English for years but still feel uncomfortable speaking it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You may know the grammar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You may understand written English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You may even understand quite a lot when you listen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But when it is your turn to speak, everything suddenly becomes more difficult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You start thinking about the correct tense. You search for the right word. You translate the sentence in your head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And by the time you have put the sentence together, the conversation has already moved on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>The problem may not be that you don&#8217;t know enough English. The problem may simply be that you haven&#8217;t had enough opportunities to speak it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Knowing English is not the same as speaking English<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishstay.cz\/en\/what-is-englishstay\/\">Traditional <strong>English courses<\/strong><\/a>, textbooks, apps and online lessons can all be useful ways to improve your vocabulary, grammar and understanding of the language.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But speaking is a skill of its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you want to become more confident in conversation, you need to actually use English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You need to hear natural English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You need to answer questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You need to search for words while you are speaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You need to make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You need to receive feedback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And, most importantly, you need to get used to communicating in English without constantly translating everything in your head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That is exactly where an <strong>intensive English course<\/strong> can make a difference.<\/p>\n<h2>An intensive English course for &#8220;forever beginners&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishstay.cz\/en\/english-in-a-week\/\">ENGLISHstay<\/a> is designed especially for people who already have some knowledge of English but still struggle to speak confidently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You don&#8217;t have to be a complete beginner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In fact, the ideal ENGLISHstay participant already:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>knows basic English grammar,<\/li>\n<li>has a reasonable vocabulary,<\/li>\n<li>understands simple conversations,<\/li>\n<li>knows the basic English tenses,<\/li>\n<li>can read and understand English,<\/li>\n<li>but struggles to speak spontaneously,<\/li>\n<li>needs too much time to find the right words,<\/li>\n<li>is afraid of making mistakes,<\/li>\n<li>or simply hasn&#8217;t had enough opportunities to speak with native speakers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If this sounds like you, perhaps you don&#8217;t need another textbook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Perhaps you simply need to start speaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>More than 70 hours of English in just 6 days<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">ENGLISHstay is not a traditional language school where you attend a lesson once or twice a week and then return to your normal routine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishstay.cz\/en\/who-are-the-participants-of-the-program\/\">It is an <strong>intensive English immersion program<\/strong><\/a> designed to give you as much real communication as possible in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">During six intensive days, participants receive <strong>more than 70 hours of English<\/strong>, with a strong focus on individual conversation and communication with native English speakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of spending months waiting for your next opportunity to practise, you spend several consecutive days surrounded by English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You talk about everyday life, work, travel, family, hobbies, experiences and topics that genuinely interest you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You listen to natural English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You respond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You ask questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And you keep talking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Because that is how speaking confidence develops.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn with a native English speaker<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">One of the key elements of ENGLISHstay is the opportunity to spend extensive time communicating with a <strong>native English speaker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And it is not only about sitting in a classroom and completing exercises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You communicate with native speakers during your individual sessions and throughout the social experience of the stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This gives you the chance to experience English as it is actually used in everyday communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At first, you may still be thinking:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>&#8220;How do I say this correctly?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But gradually, something changes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You start thinking:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>&#8220;How can I explain what I want to say?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That is an important step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You stop trying to create perfect sentences and start communicating.<\/p>\n<h2>What if you are already taking online English lessons?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Online learning has become an important part of modern language education.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Platforms such as Preply, for example, allow students to have individual online lessons with tutors and practise speaking from home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For many people, this is a convenient and effective way to study English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But there is another question:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>What happens when you need more intensity?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">One online lesson a week gives you one hour of English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Two lessons a week give you two hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">ENGLISHstay takes a completely different approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishstay.cz\/en\/\"><strong>Six consecutive days. Intensive English. Native speakers. Individual communication. Real conversations.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of switching back to Czech after your lesson, you spend an extended period of time surrounded by English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That can create a completely different learning experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You don&#8217;t necessarily have to choose between online learning and an intensive language stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Online lessons can be part of your long-term English learning routine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And an <strong>intensive English course<\/strong> can give you the opportunity to take a major step forward in speaking and listening.<\/p>\n<h2>You don&#8217;t have to travel abroad<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When people hear the words <strong>language stay<\/strong> or <strong>English immersion program<\/strong>, they often think about travelling to the UK, Ireland, Malta, the USA or another English-speaking country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">ENGLISHstay offers a different option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can experience an intensive English immersion program <strong>in the Czech Republic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There is no need to fly abroad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No airport transfers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No international travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No need to spend weeks away from home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead, you spend six intensive days in a comfortable hotel environment in the Czech Republic, surrounded by English and native English speakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For many adults, this makes an intensive language stay much easier to fit into their working and family lives.<\/p>\n<h2>What about English courses?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you search for <strong>English lessons<\/strong>, you will find plenty of options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There are language schools, private tutors, group courses, online lessons and individual classes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">All of these options can have their place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But ENGLISHstay offers something different.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of travelling to a language school several times a week after work, you take a short break from your normal routine and immerse yourself in English for several consecutive days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This change of environment can be particularly valuable for people who have been learning English for years but still haven&#8217;t managed to make the transition from <strong>understanding English to actually speaking it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is ENGLISHstay for?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">An <strong>intensive English course<\/strong> such as ENGLISHstay can be particularly suitable for you if:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>you have been learning English for several years but still don&#8217;t feel confident speaking,<\/li>\n<li>you know basic grammar and vocabulary,<\/li>\n<li>you understand more English than you can actually speak,<\/li>\n<li>you often search for words during conversations,<\/li>\n<li>you have already tried online English courses,<\/li>\n<li>you want more intensive speaking practice,<\/li>\n<li>you want to communicate with native English speakers,<\/li>\n<li>you need English for work, travel or everyday life,<\/li>\n<li>or you simply want to become more fluent and spontaneous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You don&#8217;t have to speak perfect English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You don&#8217;t have to be fluent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>You just need to have some basic knowledge and the motivation to start speaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Stop waiting until your English is &#8220;good enough&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Perhaps you have already completed several English courses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Perhaps you have told yourself:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ll start speaking when I know more vocabulary.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ll start speaking when my grammar is better.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ll start speaking when I feel more confident.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But confidence often doesn&#8217;t come before speaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Confidence comes from speaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The more you speak, the easier it becomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The more conversations you have, the less you need to translate in your head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The more you communicate with native speakers, the more natural English begins to feel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That is why ENGLISHstay focuses so strongly on real communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Less worrying about speaking perfectly. More actually speaking English.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Six days that can change the way you use English<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Six days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">More than 70 hours of English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Native English speakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Individual communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Real conversations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A supportive environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And, most importantly, an opportunity to finally use the English you already know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you are one of those <strong>&#8220;forever beginners&#8221;<\/strong> who has studied English for years but still finds it difficult to speak, perhaps you don&#8217;t need to start learning English all over again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Perhaps you simply need to start using it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishstay.cz\/en\/\">ENGLISHstay<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>An intensive English language stay in the Czech Republic for people who already know some English \u2014 but want to finally start speaking it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<div class='author-shortcodes'>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-inner'>\n\t\t\t\t<div class='author-image'>\n\t\t\t<img src='https:\/\/www.tomvorisek.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tom-male-222x300.jpg' alt='' \/>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-overlay'><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<div class='author-info'>\n\t\t\tBreak through your barriers, overcome your fears and worries about speaking English, and join our friendly team of native speakers who will work with you ONE-TO-ONE and literally get you talking!
