Ever felt like your English is getting WORSE?! (Teachers Comment)

Ever found that one week you were getting really good at English and then the next week you knew nothing? Well this is why.

When we learn a language we expect our learning curve will be like the graph opposite. But unfortunately our brain doesn't work that way.

When we learn a language we are taking in a HUGE amount of information at one time. Then after a while the brain says "STOP!!! - OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD!", and your whole brain will suddenly shut down. This shut down will not go for just one minute, it could go for up to a week. So be prepared and DON'T WORRY.

The truth is that when we learn a language our learning goes like the graph opposite. This is totally normal, and is your body's way of telling you that it needs to properly digest what it has just learned. Once that is finished, your English will suddenly bounce back bigger and better than before.

Yes, I know it is hard to imagine at the time, but it is true. So when you finish an English class and feel that your English has actually got worse, DON'T PANIC! You are undergoing something completely normal.... just relax, keep coming to the classes and do your homework as well as you can, and before you know it your English will show a sudden improvement .
