Key speaking habit

Train in complete mini-turns, not single words. Example:

Wrong focus: one-word replies.
Better focus: 1-2 full sentences with a follow-up question.

This builds conversation flow faster than vocabulary memorization alone.

Progress checklist

Measure these every week:

Number of full sentences per turn.
Time spent speaking without reading.
Number of successful self-corrections.
Comfort level in social scenarios.
