Have you ever considered giving up on your English practice because you felt it was going nowhere? Or maybe you have been studying for so long, but you don't see any progress, and you wonder why you do it?

Learning a language and trying to reach fluency can be a challenging process and sometimes we might lose our hope and motivation.

In this episode I talk about this common feeling that creeps up on us, and why it happens. I will also share what you can do to change your situation, gain back motivation and not lose hope.
