Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve done dozens of language-app lessons and watched hours of tutorials, but the second I’m in a real conversation
- I thought I understood this until I tried to actually say it out loud
- I’ve got an exam or a presentation coming up on something I’ve studied a lot, and I want to find out whether I actually get it
- When I explain this to an actual person and they say "wait, I don’t get it," I have to scramble for a whole different angle on the spot
- I can explain it smoothly to myself, but I have a feeling I’m skipping right over the parts I don’t actually get
