You've studied for a while. You're not a beginner anymore… But real conversations still feel hard, and your confidence wavers?
You’re not alone and you’re not doing it wrong.
This week’s episode dives into the "pre-B1 plateau" that so many Korean learners hit — and what you actually need to focus on before trying to level up.
We’ll talk about:

Why B1 is where most learners feel stuck
What I wish students knew before hitting this level
The mindset shift that builds lasting fluency
How I guide my students through the “I should know this already” phase
A sneak peek at the free webinar I’m hosting soon 🎉

✨ This episode is for you if:

You know Hangul and grammar basics, but conversations still feel clumsy
You’ve been hovering around Level 2 or 3 for a while
You feel like you “should be further along”
You want to prep for TOPIK or real life in Korea — but don’t know where to start
