ADVICE

Follow A Clear Long-Term Plan

  • Follow a structured 9–12 month progression (B1→B2→C1) so you can track progress and avoid burnout.
INSIGHT

Language Learning Mirrors Ironman Training

  • Learning a language is like training for an Ironman: it requires balanced practice across multiple skills, not just one.
  • You must build endurance and capabilities step-by-step to handle complex performance demands.
ADVICE

Commit To One Coach Or System

  • Use one consistent coach or system instead of switching teachers daily to avoid conflicting methods and injury (burnout).
  • Stick to a single philosophy so feedback and adjustments build on each other effectively.
