The fastest and most effective way is to spend some time in a country where English is the main language. If you can’t do that, the next best way is to make friends with native English speakers in your own country. The third best way is using apps such as HelloTalk or Tandem, which enable you to talk to people whose mother tongue is English. If they are learning your mother tongue, it’s even better because you have a fair exchange of effort

True, but that extra layer of difficulty will slough off the tiny percentage of my friends and family that do use Signal. I’ve the knowledge and motivation to use it; most people just want to download an app, make an account and get started

Kangaroo tends to either be really good or really bad, nothing in between. Probably down to the quality of the chef, hence why I never cook it at home

Crocodile can be a bit hit and miss. Supposedly ‘tastes just like chicken’ but there was an extra flavour I can’t describe.

Basically they’re seeing slower speech overall: “Instead, overall reaction time – the raw speed of pulling any word – stood out as the best indicator. The finding nudged attention back toward general processing speed.”
