A place that isn't there any more
Tell the story of a place from your past that has since closed or changed beyond recognition.

Goal
Speak for longer without stopping to search for words.
Fluency is the ability to keep going — to push through the gap where you would normally stop and search for a word. These exercises train exactly that, with drills that reward flow over speed and feedback that looks at your pauses, not just your grammar.
