Stuck at intermediate English with no progress?



Do you feel like your English learning has slowed or stopped, even though you’re still making a lot of effort? That horrible feeling of getting to an intermediate level, and then not improving, is often called ‘The Intermediate Plateau’ and in today’s video I’m going to explain what it is, why it happens, and how to fix it.

Lesson chapters:
00:00 Introduction
00:30 The language learning curve
01:27 Zipf’s Law
02:50 The forgetting curve
05:06 Combining language skills
08:33 The reality of being an adult language learner

  1. I am on intermediate level, now i live in Canada and it's to hard for me, especially in understanding native people. It's always very stressful for me. Your English is pure and pronunciation is great, i understood more than 90%. 😊

  2. Dear Christian: your words really moved me. I perceived you as a lovely person and teacher. I am so grateful because I found you in You tube 😊

  3. I can understand this video, but with your pronunciation, even people without any knowledge could've! Great video! Christian, could you explain the importance of reading? How does it really help in studying English?

  4. Thank you for this powerful video. I understand every words. Maybe, my English Is not too bad!! 😂😂

  5. Wow, you impressed me by your speech, and how did you analyze the problem, which brings up horrible feeling to the learners a new language. After your video I feel satisfactory about what I've made until now 👍✌️💚 appreciate your motivation.

  6. Maaan I love u
    I am from Egypt and I appreciate every single word u have said
    It's really a mindset

  7. I’m 56 and I started to learn English on my own 3 years ago. I’m crying because I can understand this video… I’ll go pour myself a glass of wine to celebrate it 😂😂😂

  8. Thank you very much for this motivational video. And especially for your distinct pronunciation. It was very helpful.

  9. I have never heard about intermediate plateau. So thank you for widening my horizons.

  10. Holy truth! I wouldn’t say I am very glad to be on the plateau, but I have to admit yes I am here now

  11. Hello Christian it's so nice to meet you again! This is a nice video and I like this way of viewing our beautiful language plateau. Yes, I can say I'm one of those travellers who hike in that forest which is on the plateau, like in nature.
    We always tend to want more which could be a good thing in some terms but as an old saying says " we miss the forest if we look or even stare at a single tree", right?.
    I imagine myself like a young man who stands in front of a shop window…staring at that so wanted gift "English" not able to smash that glass which could be…shyness, fear or not being good enough; the name of that shop could be "plateau gifts"😅.
    In a nutshell, here I want to say that it is possible and we must not focus only on one thing but towards a group of things, that's the way we can achieve what we want and use it like a tool, languages are tools. We must be proud of our achievements in learning English and use them.
    Then the plateau will pass!
    Thank you! 🙏

  12. In order not to forget the learned English words, you need to read fascinating novels in English. I prefer detective stories. Lee Child for example.

  13. Hey , I really love your ví
    videos. They help me a lot with myself and my students here in Brazil.

  14. Hello Cristian!
    Thank you for that video. I'm a such person who near or maybe on a plateau because I make exercise, learn rules ,but don't see progress, and I feel sad. You words touched something inside me so deeply. However, I could see this video and I could catch a main idea. it means that all is not lost.
