watch this video if you are having problems to improve your English because
I will show you a few important things that you need to analyze in your study
routine if you want to change that coming up hey friends Teacher Prix here
to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English thanks for joining me
on another lesson it's Friday a new lesson for you guys
and if it's your first time here consider subscribing from Monday to
Friday I post English lessons to help you become a better English speaker
excellent so now let's focus on the real business your English is not improving
that's probably why you're watching this video the first thing that I need you to
understand is you will not get stuck forever many times when we reach this
moment in our English journey when we are not improving when we get stuck we
have this feeling that it's going to be like this forever that we are never
going to improve so this will happen but it will not stay forever okay you will
not be like this forever however when you have this moment when you go through
this moment it's important to ask yourself some very important questions
because if you want to get out of this you need to analyze what's going on the
first question that I want you to ask yourself is what have I been doing to
really improve my English many times we get upset and we get angry because we're
not improving but are we really doing something to change another important
thing that you need to understand is when you were a beginner when you were
starting your journey you made progress much faster than now okay totally much
much faster as a pre intermediate or intermediate speaker you will make
progress but at a slower pace your progress will be you will notice the
progress but it's it's gonna come to you more slowly okay and the proportion will
also be different because now you are in a different level of your English
journey so the consequence of that is that many English learners believe they
are stuck but that's not that they're just improving at a slower pace and the
improvement proportion is smaller than when you were a beginner so if you
compare to when you were a beginner your improvements will not be as drastic
as when you didn't know anything so if you make that kind of comparison you
will always feel bad because you will have this idea the sensation that you're
not improving and that's not true but at the intermediate level at a pre
intermediate level the improvements will be at a different pace and we need to
accept that but it's also important to ask yourself what have I been really
doing to improve my English what are you really really doing to improve okay you
need to have this honest conversation with yourself the next thing you have to
analyze is what have I been doing that is very easy you know when we go from
basic to intermediate level sometimes English learners forget to change the
level of difficulty they persist they keep doing the same things the podcasts
are very easy the lessons they watch are very easy the texts they read are very
easy the videos they watch are very easy easy easy easy so easy is not gonna help
you get to the next level my friend so if you are feeling stuck how easy is
your routine how easy are the exercises you do
because if you are stuck at your current level and you are not feeling like
you're moving forward that you're making progress it's time to make things a
little bit more difficult not difficult in a negative way okay sometimes we get
very comfortable with our study routine and that's what I'm trying to say okay
we become so comfortable with the exercises we do with the things we read
with the things we listen with the videos we watch and because of that we
don't put more effort we don't practice as much as when we were beginners
because when we were beginners we were really focused we were like survival
mode we have to speak but then when you start to speak a little we feel a little
comfortable and then the activities get a little easy and then we get a little
sloppy and the improvements they don't happen as fast as when we were beginners
okay so what I have to say here is challenge yourself if you are at this
moment in your English journey relax it happens it happens to all of us but you
need to challenge yourself you need to do things that we require more
dedication that will require more concentration more time more effort more
dedication from you and it's normal it's part of the game today when I sit down
to study to do an exercise it's a difficult exercise that will challenge
me so that requires more dedication more focus more attention more time sometimes
because I am challenging myself I am at a different level if I sit down and just
to study a basic lesson it's gonna be easy it's gonna be convenient it's gonna
be comfortable but it will not help me get out of the stuck zone so that's what
I mean by challenge yourself don't be extremist do something
that is difficult but not impossible be flexible okay but it is time to
challenge yourself so what are you going to do here my my recommendation is set
aside some time and analyze the level of difficulty of the exercises you do of
the podcasts you watch of the videos you watch because if you do many easy things
easy come easy go okay you're not gonna get the results
you're looking for and for every easy exercise that you identify so for
everything that you you feel like it's very easy try to find a replacement
something that you can do that is more difficult so if you are used to
listening very basic conversations it's time to listen to something more
challenging more difficult if you watch a lot of videos with subtitles it's time
to turn off the subtitles and practice comprehension analyze the things you do
that are easy and that you can level up a little bit that you can challenge
yourself a little bit and make it more difficult okay and only you can do that
I cannot tell you what's more difficult you need to respect your limitations
your level that's why it's important to analyze where you are right now and what
you're really doing to improve your English and what kind of exercises are
really easy it's not hard for you to do you answer very quickly because it's
just too easy and from that on you will be able to come up with ideas there
there's Google my friends you'll be able to find things that will inspire you to
get out of the comfort zone of the stuck zone so that you can really improve and
remember improvements at a pre intermediate and intermediate levels are
more subtle the improvements will not happen as quickly as when you were a
beginner that's why it's important to be patient
and really analyze your routine okay the homework for today is simple
I wanted to analyze your routine the exercises you do the things you do and
what easy exercises are you currently doing that you can change so write them
down to me in the comments because maybe I can give you some suggestions so tell me
what easy exercises you are doing and then I'm gonna give you my suggestions
of how you can make those exercises a little bit more challenging a little bit
more difficult and hey if you enjoyed this video make sure to hit the like
