Understanding Breaks in Language Learning
There are two primary types of breaks in language learning: unplanned and planned breaks. Unplanned breaks include emergencies like illness or unforeseen circumstances that hinder progress, while planned breaks could be vacations or holidays. Both types can disrupt motivation and progress, leading to a decline in language skills over time, especially if learners are unaware of when their breaks will end. Recognizing the nature of these breaks is essential for learners to regain their focus and set appropriate goals for resuming their studies.
