Why you’re STILL not progressing in language learning (and how to fix it)

Описание: MERRY CHRISTMAS! And happy new year 2025! It's time to look back at 2024 and all of the work we've done. In this video we're talking about progress in language learning. Maybe you're stuck on a plateau or speaking fluently, this video is for you!

Remember that learning a language is TOUGH and progress isn't linear. In this video, we deconstruct common myths that may be holding you back, including:
1. Truth about immersion
2. Flashcards/ spaced repetition
3. Consistency (even when life gets busy)
4. Are your goals working against you?

Regardless of where you are in your learning journey, I'm proud of you for learning something new. That's chAD behaviour!
