if you're learning English and your English is not getting better I have some bad news for you but also some good news the bad news is that you are the reason your English is not improving the good news you can fix it starting today my name is Michael Anton I'm the founder of English at the ready and it's my goal to make you fluent in English today I'm going to give you the brutal truth about why your English has hit a wall and more importantly I'm going to show you exactly how to push past it
and to start improving fast stay until the end because I'll share one powerful mindset shift that will guarantee Improvement no matter what level you're at so let's get started here's why your English is not improving when you first start learning English progress feels fast you go from knowing nothing to suddenly recognizing words understanding conversations and even forming full sentences it feels amazing but then everything slows down see your brain gets comfortable your brain is wired for efficiency and once it sees a pattern it stops trying as hard it gets lazy and comfort is the enemy
of progress to improve your English you have to get out of your comfort zone and do things that are uncomfortable this is one of the biggest mindset shifts I teach your brain doesn't actually like effort so when something starts to feel easy your brain goes great I'm done learning but real fluency happens when you intentionally do things that challenge you like speaking writing and even making mistakes in public if it feels comfortable you're probably not growing so how do you push yourself well that brings us to the next Point learning English is like taking a
cold shower the hardest part is just getting in but once you're in the shower and your body adjusts it's not so bad and it's exactly the same with English you need to spend less time doing things that feel comfortable and more time doing things that push you it's easy to sit on a couch and watch a movie in english but you'll improve a hundred times faster if you get up go to a language exchange a social event anywhere you can speak and put yourself out there open your mouth start a conversation and start speaking English
fluency lives outside of your comfort zone I know it's scary I know you might feel nervous it is uncomfortable but that's exactly why it works see that stress that pressure it's what makes your brain pay attention and create real connections so instead of waiting to feel ready just step in you don't need perfect grammar you need real practice and that leads me to my next point if your English isn't in improving something needs to change you're wasting time if you keep learning the same way and expect different results that means it's time to change your
routine so sit down and reflect think about everything you've done to improve your English make a list and on one side list the things that actually worked and on the other list the things that haven't worked now cut out the stuff that doesn't work and double down on what does this list will be completely personal because everyone learns differently one thing is true for everyone if you don't change you won't grow so many Learners fall into what I called the YouTube spiral of watching hours of videos but never actually applying anything you have to step
back and be honest with yourself what's actually helping you speak better write down what works and cut out what doesn't this is how you stop wasting time and start improving fast I was recently talking about this inside my club and what we found is that the Learners who grow the fastest are the ones who get uncomfortable on purpose they stop watching and they start doing next let's talk about what's really causing your stress when it comes to learning English but before we move on if this video is helping you leave a like let me know
