In this episode, find out why getting to advanced English feels so different from getting to intermediate level - and why so many people feel stuck at this stage.

I talk about:

• Why advanced English isn’t just “more vocabulary and fewer mistakes”
• The shift from fluency to precision and reliability
• The hidden psychological pressure of performing in professional situations
• Why intermediate learning strategies stop working at advanced level

If you’ve ever felt frustrated about slower progress in English, this episode will help you understand what's really happening - and how to feel more in control of your English.

For your next step, check out the Advanced English Academy, where we work on precision, nuance, and building English that you can trust, even under pressure.

Your English can be correct and fluent - and still not sound fully professional.
