If you’ve hit a language learning plateau and feel stuck, this episode is for you. I share why plateaus are a natural part of the process, how to reframe them as signs of growth, and the honest truth that the only way forward is consistency. I also talk about the importance of motivation as the fuel to keep going and how to find new ways to stay inspired. Plus, I introduce the Grace and Space event happening September 25-28th, packed with live sessions, workshops on plateaus and motivation, coaching, and more to help you push through and keep growing.
