Quotes:

"The problem in our collective discussion about education, learning, and mastery is that we just kind of conflict the two – to be an expert is to have a PhD."

"Someone can have a lot of credentials and not have a lot of real-world skills that would make them effective as an individual, and vice versa."

"The best way I can describe classroom learning for languages is that it is usually incomplete."

"One of the major reasons that people struggle was because you are getting one part of the puzzle but you don't have enough to assemble it."

"Teaching to someone else, quite often, is a form of retrieval practice."

"If you plan your route very well and you go in the right direction, you can reach your destination sooner."
