If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line? Many adult learners use English regularly and feel comfortable in low-pressure situations. They can read, listen, and prepare answers in advance. However, during important moments — such as job interviews, meetings, or conversations with senior colleagues — English may suddenly feel difficult to access. This experience often leads learners to believe they need more vocabulary, more grammar practice, or more courses. While language knowledge is important, high-stakes situations introduce additional factors. Pressure, responsibility, and fear of making mistakes can affect how people think and respond. As a result, familiar words may not come out as expected. This does not mean that learners lack ability or effort. It highlights the difference between knowing a language and using it confidently under pressure. Recognizing this gap can help learners better understand their experience and reflect on why progress sometimes feels inconsistent, even after many years of study. Written by Anatoly Glazkov

If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line? This short podcast explores a common experience among adult English learners who use the language at work. Many people can understand English well, prepare carefully, and perform confidently in low-pressure situations. However, during interviews, meetings, or important conversations, their English may suddenly feel unavailable. Instead of focusing on grammar, vocabulary, or learning speed, this episode looks at what happens when pressure appears and why language access can change in high-stakes moments. It invites listeners to reflect on the difference between knowing English and being able to use it when professional consequences are involved. The goal of this episode is not to offer quick solutions, but to help learners recognize a pattern that often goes unnoticed and to better understand why progress can feel inconsistent, even after years of study.
