Escape the Intermediate Plateau | Learn Korean

The “Intermediate Plateau” is something everyone will reach – everyone who continues learning Korean – whether they realize they’ve hit it or not. It’s a plateau in your learning where improving starts to feel like it takes longer and longer. Often this results in people becoming demotivated to study Korean, stressing that they’re doing the wrong things, or even giving up.

In previous videos I’ve talked about the plateau, but I wanted to make an episode discussing it in detail – when and why it happens, and what to do when it happens. Hopefully this will help anyone who’s currently there and wondering what’s wrong. You could be studying every day, using the best materials, and still get stuck in the plateau.

I met up with SpongeMind TV and MotivateKorean to talk about this.
