⏳ Many English learners reach a point where progress feels slow — the intermediate plateau. This episode explains what it is, why it happens, and how long it may take to move beyond it. Listeners will learn how fluency hours are estimated and why the number varies depending on your native language and daily study habits.
The episode also discusses research-based fluency timelines, including guides used by language experts and by the U.S. Foreign Service. Learners will walk away with a clearer understanding of their own English-learning journey and how to estimate realistic progress goals. Perfect for intermediate and advanced learners who want motivation, structure, and a better sense of what fluency really requires.
