Finding it increasingly difficult to stay motivated. Seems like I am never going to get to the next badge. Seems the gap gets bigger and bigger and feel I have reched a stage where I am getting nowhere. any suggestions?

Hi sebongela,
Frustration is almost inevitable when learning a new language, which in the long run, is a good thing, as it means you are learning new concepts; if your frustration comes from the motivational tools though, then maybe you're focusing too much on them, rather than the actual learning materials that are available to you. Think of the words/phrases you've learned this week and how far you've come to master a concept or improve your pronunciation, after all, the competition is mostly against yourself.
Please also note we provide you with this Forum so you ca try to interact with other learners and language experts; you can also try to challenge yourself by re-reading something that was difficult for you before, or try to listen to a song and see how much you can grasp now in comparison to when you started.
Kind Regards
