Plateau!
What to do when we hit Plateau while learning a new language?
Firstly lets define plateau.
Definition of plateau:a state of little or no change following a period of activity or progress.
Its like getting stuck or a block in the progress of studying a language.
So what is the treatment to handle this phase?
Answer: NOTHING ACTIVE! BUT NOTHING INACTIVE EITHER!
Our very existence as a human has Plateau even at a cellular level.
Its just nature's way to give any cell a rest.
Same with our neurons in the brain..it needs a break from time to time hence we might find ourselves stuck for a while without much progress.
This phase usually fades into 50 shades of oblivion and we would even forget that we had a plateau.
One of the greatest creation in the world is the human mind.
It can be totally out of control or totally in tune or totally multipolar and the secret of going on with life is to observe these changes like a witness..its very hard to fight the human mind but if we can just observe our emotions right from love to anger or even hatred...we can observe how each emotion has effect on us.
Likewise when we hit a plateau in learning dont try to fight it by feeding the mind more information and force ourselves to memorize or even over study.
Just step aside and realize that our brain needs a break but that does not mean we get attached to inaction and do nothing!
We can still study but try a different format.
If reading and writing is making our mind fatigue..try hearing a song in the language we are learning to relax without any compulsion to even understand everything fully.
Our mind records everything we experience through our 5 senses subconsciously like an Abhimanyu absorbing in- utero.
But only thing is we need to know how to get out of the Chakra Vyuha of a Plateau!
Just drive the chariot of the mind with the 5 senses in a different manner that would be conducive for progressing to the next level.
