You can order coffee and ask for directions, but real conversations still feel out of reach. You're not alone. Many language learners hit this wall. MyLang's two-way translation method is specifically designed to push you past the intermediate plateau.
The intermediate plateau isn't your fault. It's a predictable result of how languages are typically taught
Most apps keep feeding you content at your current level. You feel productive but never actually improve.
You know all the rules but freeze when speaking. Knowledge about the language isn't the same as using it.
Simplified materials are boring. But authentic content feels impossible. There's nothing in between.
"The intermediate plateau is real. You know enough to get by, but not enough to truly connect. That's where the right method makes all the difference."— Common experience of intermediate learners
MyLang's two-way translation method targets the exact skills intermediate learners need
"Bien qu'il ait plu toute la journée, nous avons décidé de poursuivre notre randonnée."
Move beyond simple sentences. Our stories introduce sophisticated grammar naturally, the way native speakers actually use it.
"Although it rained all day..."
"Bien qu'il..."
Stop being a passive consumer. Two-way translation forces you to actively produce the language, building the neural pathways for real conversation.
"Great use of 'bien que'! Native speakers often follow this with 'nous avons quand même décidé' for emphasis."
Our AI doesn't just correct, it coaches. Get nuanced feedback that helps you sound more natural, not just grammatically correct.
Real stories at the perfect difficulty level, interesting enough to engage, challenging enough to grow
