Why You Can't Have a "Real Conversation" in Another Language

This is the question I answered in this video: "I studied Japanese for two years, Russian for two, French for about six, and a little Spanish for fun. However, I never really managed to get to fluency and just seemed to hit a plateau where I could limp along but never got to being able to hold a real conversation. What's your advice for getting past this?" This is the Reddit thread I referenced in the video: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/cz867/i_know_all_about_how_to_learn_languages_ama/ I hope you find this video helpful!
