Hi, I'm coming in the icon from Germany.

I've been studying English up used, but it's so hard to get above intermediate level.

So you have any tips what I can do to become advance wolf.

Learning a language can be a bit like climbing a mountain.

Most people make a lot of progress early on, but then they get to a flat bit or a plateau, as we like to call it.

And then they didn't seem to make that much more progress.

It can take a huge effort to finally get where you want to be rights on the top, but you can do it.

So here, a Tim's Top tips for getting off the intermediate plateau and climbing Mount English right to the top.

Come on, follow me.

Tim's Tip Number one.

Expose yourself to as much authentic English as you can.

Try reading books or newspapers and also making conversation with native English speakers whenever you get the chance.

Oh, hi!

Whoa.

Would you like to borrow in my newspaper?

Or perhaps we could just have a chat.

Tim's Tip Number two.

When you're reading, note down all the set phrases that you see.

It's great to learn English in chunks rather than trying to break everything down into individual words.

The businessmen tried to curry favor with the politicians.

Tim's Tip number three.

Try listening to recordings of native English speakers.

Listen to how the words connect.

Then record yourself, saying it the same way as the native speaker and listen back to yourself.

How did he sound?

You're a great teacher, Tim.

You're a great teacher, Tim.

You're a great teacher, Tim.

Oh, thanks.

I sounded pretty good.

Almost like a native.

On finally Tim's top tip.

Try to relax and enjoy yourself.

Don't worry about it too much.

You need to realize that everybody struggles at this stage.

You can do it.

Thanks, Tim, for the advice.

I hope I can make it.

Thio the tub of mull in English.

Good luck and good luck.
