Episode Synopsis

If you’ve hit a language learning plateau and feel stuck, this episode is for you. I share why plateaus are a natural part of the process, how to reframe them as signs of growth, and the honest truth that the only way forward is consistency. I also talk about the importance of motivation as the fuel to keep going and how to find new ways to stay inspired. Plus, I introduce the Grace and Space event happening September 25-28th, packed with live sessions, workshops on plateaus and motivation, coaching, and more to help you push through and keep growing.---**GRACE & SPACE TICKETS**🥰 Grace & Space tickets: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/graceandspace **GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.
