I predict you will make a fortune with your method of instantly producing fluency in English with a simple press of a button.

My wife's grandmother only speaks Ukrainian. She tried to learn English but could never master it. Apparently, she can speak a few words, but not really enough to get by on. She came here after getting out of Dachau. I'll make sure to pass along your sentiments.
