Struggling with consonant clusters - is there a trick for 'zmrtvýchvstání' and similar words?

Posted by u/Pronunciationfocus_830 / May 30, 2026

I record myself daily to work on my accent, but these long consonant clusters in Czech feel physically impossible to articulate smoothly. I end up adding 'ghost vowels' or pausing too long. Does anyone have a specific technique or tongue-placement guide for navigating these clusters without sounding like I'm choking?
