Language learners plateau without conversation practice access

Intermediate language learners report hitting a plateau because apps like Duolingo lack real conversation partners at their skill level. Existing language exchange platforms (Tandem, ConversationExchange) have inconsistent quality, flaky partners, and no structure for accountability, leaving learners frustrated with their progress after app-based foundations.
