About this episode

One of the greatest challenges for Upper-intermediate learners is to continue making progress in their English. We've had countless students tell us about this problem: They already speak English quite well but still have some things to improve. Although they know this, they're not sure how to do it and they feel stuck at intermediate level. If this sounds like you, then be sure to keep listening because you'll find out the key breaking out of the intermediate plateau!
