Why does progress suddenly stall—and what can we do about it?

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood and frustrating stages of the language journey: the intermediate plateau. That strange middle space where you’re no longer a beginner, but you don’t quite feel fluent either. You’ve come so far… and yet, somehow, feel stuck. 

We’ll explore why the plateau happens, what it’s really asking of you, and how the core pillars of the Fluent Framework can help you move through it with rhythm, presence, and renewed purpose. 

If you’ve ever felt like your progress has slowed—or that you’re just coasting through familiar routines—this episode is your reminder that the plateau isn’t the end. It’s a turning point.
