Advice on language learning: Everyone has times when they don

’t feel they are improving. It is called a plateau. After a while you start improving again. It is important to manage your expectations too. Strive for improvement, not perfection (even native speakers aren’t perfect!)

I am in the plateau stage. I can speak English. I can write English. But my English is still unnatural. Your posting cheered me up. Thank you.

sometimes progress happens incrementally, just keep going and wait for the subtle improvement.....

Yeah, well said. I've been stuck on the plateau for a good while. I've been striving for improving my speaking but little progress was made. So I have to lower my expectation for speaking rightly, precisely, naturally, and fluently. Just to get along with my broken speaking.😓
