Conversation

Thought: Languages have textures, particularly when spoken by native speakers. But a lot of the language learning tools don’t have the same texture, like it’s sanded down to be more easily understood by someone who doesn’t speak it yet.

Because I’m learning Korean, and watching Korean media, it’s easier to spot in that context. But also, remembering how both Duolingo and Rosetta Stone’s Spanish lessons sound, it happens there too. There’s a flow that’s missing.
