r/ENGLISH • u/Matthewmurdock1 • 16h ago

Hi everyone!

I'm learning English, and I feel stuck at B1. I want to improve my English and reach B2, but I don't know what to do next. I study English, but sometimes I feel like I'm not making much progress.

That's super common, usually called the B1 plateau.

What helped me was stopping with the "learner material" and just watching/listening to stuff native speakers actually watch (YouTube, podcasts about things I'm actually interested in).
Also, start speaking out loud to yourself or writing down your thoughts in English daily and to turn that passive vocab into active speech.

Agree with Zur there. Stop learning the language, start using it. You won't cross the plateau unless you do exactly that.
