How we count
Only playback on RealTalkBridge counts. A random first-party identifier deduplicates returning visitors; no IP address is stored. Country labels appear only when at least five distinct learners are represented.
Lesson’s central idea
Describe the current state, explain what changed or needs attention, and then state the response or decision—using only the structure that fits the case.
