She did it twice, without being asked. Teacher Kate flagged it after Tuesday's lesson — the same verb she mis-used in Week 5. Something is clicking into place.
Between months 2 and 4, most learners hit a plateau where comprehension grows loudly but speaking stands still outside. The breakthrough usually lands within 3–4 weeks. We'll check in.
Three lessons a week · Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays · 5:30pm Istanbul · Teacher Kate.
Eight weeks in. Mia moved from A1 Starter to 68% through A2 Movers — roughly 22% faster than the median 7-year-old on platform.
The "Here" marker pulses. To reach B1 Preliminary, Mia needs roughly 28 more lessons at the current pace — around mid-June.
Speaking is the lagging skill. Next 4 lessons will emphasise open-ended prompts — Kate's plan.
The dip at W4–W5 is the expected plateau. Vocabulary held, usage deepened.
Every lesson Mia has taken, every recording, and practice she can do on her own — searchable.
Words Kate has heard Mia use correctly and unprompted. This is a deliberately strict list — passive vocabulary is larger.
A gentle past-tense story read by Kate. Pauses for Mia to repeat the action verbs.
Pair the present with the past. go/went, eat/ate, see/saw. 12 cards.
Three prompts. Record and send to Kate — she'll reply before Thursday's lesson.
12 of 12 words correct. Mia did this practice twice on her own.
20 pages. Narrator audio optional. New vocab highlighted.
Draw three things that happened. Label in English. Optional — photo to Kate.
We want you to feel in control. Ask us anything — Kate or a human reply within 24 hours.
No. Weeks 4–5 are the expected intermediate plateau — comprehension races ahead of output. Every child on platform goes through it. Most come out with a burst of fluency. If no breakthrough by week 6, we check in automatically.
Continuity is our strongest teaching principle. Kate has been with Mia since W1. If she's ill, we match with Sarah (UK) — pre-approved since W4, same accent region, same method. You'll see the swap in advance.
