Input, output, embarrassment.
About this space
Input, output and the embarrassment in between. Comprehensible input, speaking before you are ready, progress logs in whatever you are learning, and corrections offered freely. Timelines here are honest, which usually means longer than the apps promise and worth it anyway.
