A typical lesson starts with a short lead-in to activate what you already know and get you talking early. New language is introduced in context, and I check understanding with concept questions rather than asking "do you understand?", because most students say yes whether they do or not. We then move from controlled practice, where accuracy matters, to freer speaking, where fluency matters and I stop interrupting.

Correction that's kind rather than discouraging. And a teacher who genuinely understands what it's like to be fluent enough to follow a conversation but not confident enough to join it.
