I booked lessons. I talked to native speakers. I stayed consistent. And my progress still stalled. In this video, I explain why I was using italki wrong—and why just “having conversations” isn’t the cheat code people think it is. The problem isn’t italki. It’s how most people use it. We’ll cover: Why undirected conversation feels productive but often isn’t What speaking practice is actually good for (and what it isn’t) How to turn italki into a high-impact practice tool instead of expensive small talk How tutors fit into a real language-learning system How learning science changes the way you should be using speaking lessons The big mistake: Treating speaking as the learning method instead of practice for what you’ve already learned. Speaking matters—but when it’s plugged into the right workflow, not left to chance. If you use italki, Preply, or any one-on-one tutoring platform and feel stuck, this video will probably explain why.
