Are You Bad at English? My English is Bad
The Real Problem: Why You’re Stuck and Not Fluent in English 🤯 Let me lay it out straight for you. You’re working hard, right? Memorizing vocabulary, going through endless lists of words 📝. You feel like you’re making progress. But here’s what happens next... You go to your English class 📚, and the listening exercise is on a completely different topic. None of the words you memorized show up. 😤 Then, you’re asked to do a reading on that same topic. And what do you get? 1-3% of the vocabulary from the listening exercise overlaps with the reading 🧐. So now your brain is juggling all these new words that have no connection to what you just studied. But wait, there’s more. You go home, watch a movie or a YouTube video 🎥… and NONE of the vocabulary you’ve been trying to remember shows up. Instead, you’re bombarded with even more new, random words. 🤦‍♂️ Then, it’s time to actually talk to someone in English 💬, and you feel completely stuck. You can only think of the random words you memorized last week, but they’re useless in this conversation. Your brain is drowning in disconnected information 🌀, and you can’t form the right links between what you’ve learned and what you need to say. And to top it off, next week your school moves on to another topic without ever revisiting the words you just tried so hard to memorize. All that effort? Gone. Wasted. 😔 Your Brain is Stuck in Stage 1 and 2 🧠⛔ Here’s the truth: you’re not stupid, and you’re not bad at learning languages. The problem is the system you’re using—it’s working against how your brain actually learns. Let’s talk about the four stages your brain needs to go through to learn vocabulary: 1. Unconscious Incompetence: You don’t even know what you don’t know. 🤷‍♂️ 2. Conscious Incompetence: Now you realize what you don’t know, and it’s frustrating. 😬 3. Conscious Competence: You can use the words, but it takes effort and focus. 💡 4. Unconscious Competence: You can use the words without thinking—it’s automatic. 🏆

🤣 every language learner s in common issue, i m currently a secondary student, to be honest,I always struggle with my lexical resource.I often find it difficult to recall vocabulary that befits the topic or suits the tone of my essays . About 3 months ago , my vocab just likely B1, just as normal as other students in school,i ve done the english educational program of vietnam on B1 overall level.Abruptly,on a particular day of three months ago, the first time of my life that i have a personal goal.i decided to aim for sth ambitious, i ve setted an exceedingly hard goal to be attained that passing the exam for Ulis high school(it is one of the top notch vietnam high schools), which is part of the University of Languages and International Studies at Vietnam National University . The english level required for admission is around mid of C1 .Yup , determined ,i ve exerted strenously to improve my overall english proficency , especially my vocabulary .only having with 12 months remained to prepare.I literally have a vocabulary learning speedrun :)) Perhaps my vocab learning method was somewhat perfunctorily and superficial that lead me to this issue. If there were sth incorrect or my english sound ridiculous in this text i hope u can rectify it :))
