This question reminds me of a funny story from my life when I had difficulty communicating with a student friend on a language website. It happened about a year ago when my vocabulary wasn't very good on the language website. I was practicing with him about telling my future plans and speaking with him because he is a native speaker. But the problem started when I was trying to explain my ideas for the future due to my lack of vocabulary, which made it really difficult to express myself. I solved that problem by using simpler words to explain and also using a translator to check my vocabulary. I can also say that in the future, it helped me practice more vocabulary and speaking, and now I can say that this situation helped me develop my vocabulary and grammar in English.
