    Hy Bob. I've understood recently why I couldn't break throught the plateau you were talking about. I'm my worst enemy with my way of learning. I have always been too demanding with mylself trying to fill up my brain with too much infomation : a new job, my Spanish study, my English Study with plenty of note books...consequently my brain got tired! that's why I would like to add that when it comes to learning our goals must be doable! Thanks a lot.

    For me, that feeling of "plateau" your mentioned, dear Bob, depends of what kind of mood I am in at the moment. Sometimes I think I'm there sometimes not. We are lucky that we have four skills to develop: reading, listening, speaking and writing. If you have some difficulties with one you can switch to another and have new fun there. I think It's not as hard as lifting weights day by day working out :-). I appreciate your great "down-to-earth" English classes. Thank you so much! Keep it going!

    Hi dear Teacher Bob! You're the best to make me improve my English and this lesson is a very good example. I think you're completly right speaking about how to break through a plateau because it's true not just about learning English but for any type of learning. As always, your advices are very good and the examples very helpful! I loved the little moment where you try to break through the plateau at practicing your cardio!!!! Thank you so much for this lesson which arrives just at a moment where my progess is level out. I'm going to add something else at my «Bob the Canadian» lessons and at my listening Cbc radio one: studying more grammar on Anglaisfacile and reading a book. As you see I take advantage of the comments to practice my writing! Sorry for this long comment!

    Thanks for this lesson. I have always known what I'need to do but it is hardter to do than to say. Nowadays I have long working hours (usually I work for 10 hours) and I'm thinking of signing up for the weekend to work extra so I will have no opportunity to practice. I can't really keep your tips of overcoming the plateau (I still learn a few words unkown to me) but I just listen to you despite your tips. I also watch the lessons of Interactive English and mmmenglish. During the summer I listened in Vanessa's lessons but nowadays the time is too precious to me.
