French in Plain Sight's video: Should my French be better by now Are you progressing fast enough

If you're thinking "should my French be better by now?" you're not alone. How do you genuinely know if you're where you should be with the language? We criticise ourselves for mistakes in French. "I shouldn't make that mistake." Or for not being "better 'by now' ". Is this fair? Does it push us forward or make us feel crap? I've lived it so man times. It's part of who I am to question myself. A lot of the time it's ourselves, and the way we treat ourselves. This video is for those French learners who are committed but frustrated by lack of progress and who have the tendency to beat themselves up. I offer a way to look at the situation differently, to decide if you're being overly hard on yourself or not. If you are, take action.
