Past the beginner stage: how to keep progressing in language learning

Webinar overview

  • Recorded on:May 28, 2026
  • Duration:5:00 pm (GMT+0200) – 60 mins

Past the beginner stage, language learning can start to feel less clear: progress slows down, speaking feels harder than it should, and the words you understand don’t always come out when you need them. In this webinar, our host Valentina (Content Manager at Lingoda) is joined by language content creator Iclal (@iclaliano) to break down what really happens after the basics — and how to keep moving forward. Drawing on Iclal’s experience of learning languages for over 10 years, you’ll learn how to overcome the intermediate plateau, turn passive knowledge into active use, and build speaking confidence without waiting until you feel “ready.” Through practical strategies, real-life examples, and an open live Q&A, you’ll leave with clear steps to keep progressing.

Topics covered

  • Meet the intermediate plateau
  • Turn passive knowledge into active use
  • Redefine fluency
  • Systems for consistent progress
  • Live Q&A
