KoboshiIf you grew up hearing a language at home, a beginner course can feel insulting and useless at the same time. You already have the sounds, the rhythm, the everyday phrases. Sitting through “this is an apple” teaches you nothing.
The real gap is somewhere else. You can talk about family and food without thinking, then go quiet the moment the topic turns formal, technical, or written. The grammar is fine. The words for that register simply were never part of home.
So the work is not starting over. It is filling in precise, higher-register vocabulary on top of fluency you already have. Depth, not basics. That is a different kind of study, and it deserves a different kind of tool.
