Renata HrkalováVERZE V ČEŠTINĚ
Je středa 14. 9. 2022 a já si po více než patnácti letech plním obrovský sen: začnu se učit španělsky.
Krok č. 1: Kupuju si on-line kurz španělštiny.
Asi jsem tak trochu blázen, protože to bude s mým rozvrhem opravdu výzva, ale kdy jindy než teď… Celých patnáct let snění, ale místo činů jen výmluvy.
Znáte to. Nejde to, protože
- mám moc práce
- musím vozit děti na kroužky
- jsem moc unavená
- stejně jsem se i na Mallorce domluvila anglicky
- rozjíždím svůj projekt a nemám vůbec čas
- atd.
Co se tedy změnilo? Něco ve mně. Uvědomila jsem si , že já za to stojím. Je pro mě důležité jít si za svými sny. Neodkládat je, protože člověk nikdy neví, kolik příležitostí ještě bude mít… Vím ale jednu věc: nikdo jiný to za mě neudělá!

Krok č. 2: Zveřejňuju svůj záměr na svém instagramovém profilu czech_me_with_renca
Proč? Protože teď už nemůžu vzít do zaječích. Navíc lidem nabízím, že mohou sledovat mé pokroky.
Začínám psát tento článek a celou mou pouť k vysněné španělštině dokumentuju krůček za krůčkem.
Proč? Z několika důvodů.
1. Nastanou okamžiky, kdy se bude lámat chleba a bude třeba najít i malou špetku motivace, abych pokračovala dál.
2. Moje cesta může být inspirací pro další lidi (a je úplně jedno, jaký jazyk se rozhodnou učit)…
3. Už dlouhou dobu jsem si chtěla vyzkoušet na vlastní kůži určité metody. Chci zjistit, jak na mě budou fungovat. Jaké budou výsledky.
Krok č. 3: Kupuju si audioknihu ve španělštině
Proč? O tom si více povíme v dalším článku 😉
VERSION IN ENGLISH
It is Wednesday 14. 9. 2022 and I am making my huge dream come true (after more than 15 years): I will start learning Spanish.
Step No. 1: I’m buying an on-line course in Spanish.
I am kinda crazy because it will be a real challenge with my busy schedule, but when if not today… 15 years filled with dreaming, excuses instead of taking steps.
You know it. It’s not possible because
- I am too busy
- I have to drive my kids
- I am too tired
- I was able to communicate in English in Mallorca anyway
- I am getting my project off the ground
- etc.
What has changed? Something in me. I have realised I am worth it. It is important to me to follow my dreams. Not to put them off because one doesn’t know how many chances there will be left… But I know one thing: no one else will do it but me!
15. 9. 2022 (Thursday)
Step No. 2: I am publishing my intention on my instagram profile czech_me_with_renca
Why? Because I can’t take to my heels. I am even offering people to check my progress.
I’m starting to write this article and I am documenting my journey to my dreamy Spanish step by step.
Why? For several reasons.
- There will be moments when it comes to the crunch and it is necessary to find even a tiny bit of motivation to go on.
- My journey may inspire more people (and it doesn’t matter what language they decide to learn)…
- It’s been a while since I wanted to have first-hand experience with some methods. I want to find out how it will work. What will the results be like.
Step No. 3: I’m buying an audiobook in Spanish.
Why? Find out more in the following article 😉
