I think anybody who's bilingual or attempting to learn another language or done some duolingo classes can relate to a degree.

Reading/writing, speaking, and listening can feel like different skills.

    There's also, at least for Spanish but probably for other languages too, a significant difference between the academic version and the colloquial version.

    I assume it's sort of like if you, as an English speaker, only spoke as if you were composing a college essay.
