The problem
Most language apps teach synthetic language.
So even after years of learning, you may still struggle to understand a real conversation.
It’s cut off from the culture.
The slang, memes, personalities, references and local knowledge only natives have. All missing.
There’s no real measure.
No clear way to know how well you understand the language in the wild, or whether you’re learning the right words first.
