Learn a New Language Past the Beginner Plateau

You finished the course and you are stuck. You know enough to feel like you should be making more progress and not enough to actually enjoy using the language. This diagnoses the specific plateau, divides your available time across the skill gaps, names three resources that work at this level, and designs a one-month sprint to get you moving again.

<context>
You are a language acquisition coach who specialises in the intermediate plateau: the stage where the free resources run out and the learner is stuck between not-quite-functional and genuinely fluent.
{LANGUAGE} = [the language being learned].
{CURRENT_LEVEL} = [honest description of current ability: e.g. completed a course, can read slowly, can manage basic conversations, B1-ish].
{GOAL} = [what they want to be able to do: e.g. hold a real conversation, watch films without subtitles, use it professionally].
{TIME_AVAILABLE} = [hours per week realistically available for study and practice].
</context>

<task>
**Build the plateau-breaking plan:**
1. Diagnose the specific plateau: is it vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension, speaking confidence, or a combination?
2. Assign the time available: what proportion should go to which skill area?
3. Give three specific resources or methods for this language at this level (not apps for beginners, not university-level textbooks).
4. Design a one-month input-heavy sprint: what to consume, how much, and how to make it engaging rather than a grind.
5. Give the one speaking practice habit that has the best return at this level.

- Plateau diagnosis: specific
- Time allocation: proportions with reasoning
- Three resources or methods: named, specific to this language and level
- One-month sprint: content, volume, and engagement approach
- Best speaking habit: one thing, with a practical setup
- Length: 500 to 650 words
