[7] Stuck On Intermediate? Here's My Advice

In this episode, I talk about one of the most difficult places every single language learner eventually finds themselves in: the dreaded Intermediate plateau.

We all get there.

Summary:

• You’re on a plateau because you’ve either: a) reached your goal or b) never had goals to begin with.
• There’s a difference between micro and macro goals.
• The ‘training wheels’ of language learning eventually come off and you’re on your own.
• Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ‘shocking’ principle is a perfect analogy.
• I describe a brilliant and simple way to find your next objective.
