We all feel stuck sometimes. I assure you, it’s a normal feeling.
— The Extra Mile: Vocabulary for this week’s lesson —
(Look for the words with a “ * ” ):
To be stuck in a rut = To be stuck or trapped in the same negative routine. Despite your actions, you can’t develop a positive routine.
To move forward = to advance
To get back on track = Return to the correct path, or the correct way of doing things
In our personal lives, in our professional life, in English… there is always a moment when we feel stuck in a rut*.
One day, we feel good, productive, happy.
And then, maybe, a few days later, it feels like you can’t move forward.
You say you really want to improve your situation. You have good intentions. You feel motivated.
And no matter how much you say you want to do something, you just can’t get back on track* and find the joy of *moving forward again.
If you have ever felt stuck, in your life or just with learning English, this episode will help you stop feeling stuck in a rut, and get back on track!
Don’t stay stuck alone!
The best way to become unstuck with your English is to take action, even if it’s a small action.
So here’s your opportunity to start getting back on track.

P.S. This month, I’m trying something new with the videos. I want to make them more interactive, and to help you learn more native-speaker expressions faster.
Watch the video to discover this new approach, and tell me if you like it (or not!) Thanks!
More good stuff...

Thank very much Christina for sharing such tips. Two weeks ago, I joined a team of 5 people running an English club in a school for kids. I’ve done that for the purpose of getting the habitat of speaking the language. I am feeling already that it’s a great experience to go through. I like it !
Besides, as I am in a French speaking-country and it’s hard to find an English partner to have daily conversations with, I’m used to talk to myself when walking, even in the shower. It ain’t easy at all but interesting.
Hello Christina’s team ! Thanks for sharing this tips. It’s really helpful I believe that the problem happens when you study and don’t practice, know what I mean? In my case I’ve been studying English for a long time and during this period I’ve studied a lot but I haven’t practiced enough. So it’s been easy to forget the rules , gramar expressions etc. I know , I have good vocabulary, I am familiar with the language, but practice will make all the diference. I think that I need to slow dow the studies and increase the practice. This way I think that the knoledge will fix in mind and I won’t forget anymore. When you really learn, you will be able to go forward and learn new things and so will be able to learn more. I hope someday, I get this level .
Hi Christina,
This week I am really stuck in a rut in my English learning journey. I feel like if I step back, a lot more difficulties to speak, to find my words even basic words, it’s incredible! Anyway, I decided rather than to continue to be frustrated, just relaxed focusing on other activities, and waiting for better days until I get back on track to move forward with English.
Cheers
