#2 Učenje stranih jezika (Учење страних језика)

Ever wondered why so many people start learning a new language with total enthusiasm, only to quit a few months later? In this episode, we break down the reality behind language learning retention—from the initial "honeymoon phase" to why up to 90% of self-learners give up before reaching fluency. We’ll explore the main reasons learners hit a wall, how to push past the intermediate plateau, and practical mindset shifts to help you stick with your English journey for the long haul.

Overall Language Learner Retention
Self-Study Apps & Online Platforms: Studies and user data from popular language-learning platforms show that up to 90% of self-learners drop out within the first few months.

Formal Courses & Higher Education: In formal classroom environments, completion rates are higher, but dropouts or failure to reach proficiency still range between 30% and 50%.
