Speak Czech Like a Local: Abbreviations You NEED to Know!

Ever felt lost in Czech conversations when people throw around shortcuts like HáeMko or OSVČ? You’re not alone! Czech abbreviations are everywhere—from shopping and banking to transport and tech. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back!

In this podcast episode, Eliška and Monča from slowczech take you on a fun and practical journey through the most common Czech abbreviations. You’ll finally understand what Czechs really mean when they say:
“Jdu do DMka” (I’m going to DM)
“Pošlu to přes PPL” (I’ll send it via PPL)
“Nemám wifinu” (I don’t have Wi-Fi)

Forget textbook Czech! This episode is all about real-life Czech, the language people actually speak. We’ll break it down so you can start using these words confidently—without feeling like a clueless foreigner.

You’ll learn how to:

Navigate shopping like a pro (H&M, C&A, DM)
Understand public transport (MHD)
Use delivery services (PPL, DHL)
Speak like locals in tech (Wi-Fi, aka wifina)
Talk about banking and work (KB, ČSOB, OSVČ)
