”My English isn’t improving. What should I do?”
It’s normal to feel frustrated when you are learning something new. This happens to anyone who is trying to master a new skill. If you feel like your English skills have stopped improving, there are things you can do to get yourself back on the right path. In this video, I’ll give you six suggestions to help you do this. Watch and learn whom to ask for a language assessment, what kinds of study materials you should be using, and what questions you should be asking yourself. After watching the video, leave a comment to tell me what you do when you feel stuck at a certain level. Finally, remember that there ARE things you can do to get to the next level, so don’t give up.

I got 10/10, thank you very much because right now i also feel I am stuck and i want to see myself and my process learning english, your sugestions helps me a lot
That’s great to hear. Sometimes, we need to hear something different instead of just another grammar point.
Hello Alex! I try to make learning English as habit. About one hour every day on different sites. And when I cannot to learn I have the withdrawal. But sometimes I have frustration and make the break. After that I look for some interesting in English. My learning focus on the reading and listening by myself. I call this recognition skills. But “generator” skills such as speaking and writing I do not develop. But I understand that the key of improving my English lays in the area of “generator” skills.
Hi Bitaly, what you call “generator” skills are also called “production” skills. It’s tough to improve them by yourself, but not impossible. I hope your studies continue to be satisfying and that you feel like you’re making progress.
Hi Alex, thanks a lot for this useful video. My native language is French. Do not hesitate if you want a ZOOM with me. Fifty-fifty French-English ?? It can be great, isn’t ? Beatrice.
Hi, Beatrice. Thanks for your kind offer! :) At the moment, I’m okay without a language exchange partner, but I do appreciate you asking. I hope you’re doing well!
Thanks Alex. This a differente vídeo!!!
Thanks! I wanted to do something that felt fresh.
Thanks Alex, it’s a comfort to see this.
My pleasure, robinly. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks Alex
I got 100%
First, I like when you ask questions at the end of videos :)
Regarding questions:
1-To be honest I love English and live with it, so I’ve never thought of quitting! And I never get frustrated.
2-I should reconsider some plans during my journey of learning English. I have a friend who teaches English and is somehow expert at it, so he checks my English regularly and gives me feedback.
Alex, I think some very basic lessons are needed on Engvid. Like house issues, family talks, daily life activities. Once I wanted to explain a problem with our water and faucet that was leaking, I couldn’t explain it in English.
Thank You.
Yeah, I´ve been trying to learn English since when I was 23; today I am 56 lol lol. But I´ll never give up!
God job Pereira :)
It’s a helpful video. I Like it!

Thank you so much, Alex. Really, it is a very useful video for me. You did a great job. Have a nice day by day…Best regards
I have appreciated your work.Superb lesson 10/10.
Sometimes I go back to situations those seemed difficult level and they become more easy so I think because of this better understand I’ve improved a little or is the same when I go back to exercises seemed more easy and find something have passed unnoticed.
I always keep in mind the resources those could be the best next step!
Thanks!
VERY GOOD your tips, thanks a lot.
Some people spend more time paying these “Learn English in 1 second” courses than learning English.

Thanks for your lesson, it’s really useful to me.
Thank you very much Mr. Alex. I’ve ben studying Language for thirty and + years and consider that to be realistic is the most important thing. It all depends on how much efforts, time you apply to the process of studying, and though it seems to me that nothing have changed for the last 25 years I am glad that I have preserved some of the knowledge acquired earlier.
Thanks for your lesson, it’s really useful for me.
Thank you Alex! This video describe my situation.

Thank you Alex for this lesson. Sometimes I get frustrated and stressful when learning English. I take a break when I feel stuck and not improving. But most of the time before taking a break I watch Motivation videos of great speakers and English poems. Which motivate me and push me forward in my learning process. Alex you inspired me in this video. Thank you again!

Hi Alex, I’m Dom, I follow for several years your videos (and Rebeca too ) but I stay a beginner. I’m 65 years old and my son and my grand daughter live in California It’s for this reason I would speak english better. I like to buy one of your books ? Upon reading this comment you can see my level. Thanks you for your advice.
I’m retired and french, if you want I will be happy to welcome you to my home in France near Bourg-en-Bresse to improve your french ;-))
