Crafting Your Style
What does it mean to craft your style in language? To craft your style means to create a style of language that is specific to you. Everybody has their unique patterns of speech; there are words that we say more than others and certain gestures that we do when speaking. Our way of expression is connected to our personality, and we can even connect your personality in the other languages that you learn.
Brain Farts
Brain farts are when your brain emits flatulence. Okay, maybe that’s too literal to be considered a serious definition. To really define what a brain fart is, we have to get more metaphorical.
So you know when you’re giving a speech or talking in long, exasperated breaths of information and then suddenly, your brain freezes? That’s a brain fart. It’s as if your brain just gets built up with gas and needs to release it before continuing the spew of information.
In this article, we’ll be discussing brain farts in language learning, what to do when they happen, and how to learn from them.

The Language Learning Plateau
Learning a language is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your lifetime. Nevertheless, it is still a challenging task, and sooner or later everybody hits the language learning plateau. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and just like puberty– everybody has to go through it.
I’ve experienced at least 3 plateaus in my journey, each one more daunting than the last. The last one, however, was the greatest challenge I’ve ever faced. Since moving to my target language’s country, my language skills took a dive for the worst. Everything just felt out of place, new and unrecognizable. Speaking to natives gave me more of a headache than a feeling of satisfaction. And watching everyone around me communicate fluently, while I took 10 seconds to think of an appropriate sentence was more than embarrassing. But, the good news is that it didn’t last forever. Now, I’m making more progress than ever before in my target language!
In this article, we’ll be discussing the infamous language learning plateau.
