It can feel like you are forcing your mouth to make sounds that it doesn't normally make.

A study commissioned by iTalki has shown you can raise your language ability equivalent to an entire semester of university study, merely by undertaking 19 hours of lessons on its platform.

The efficacy of iTalki represented a gain of 14 test points (on the WebCAPE test) for each hour of study for writing, and an increase of one level divided by 19 (out of 10) on the OPIc chart.
In WebCAPE, the highest possible score is about 1000.
