[331] What to Do When You Feel Stuck Lea...

English Made Simple
About this episode

Feeling stuck with your English? In this episode, I talk about what to do when your progress slows down or when you feel like you're not improving. You'll learn phrases like hit a plateau, shake things up, and break through. I’ll also share a short story with Ana and Carlos (my two imaginary friends!) to help explain how you can stay motivated and restart your learning. Enjoy!


Here’s how to feel unstuck. When you're ready, click below to start learning with me:
