You can hold a conversation, but so much of the language still sits above your level: the podcast everyone quotes, the series you watch with subtitles, the lecture that loses you by minute two, the appointment where the clerk talks like a form. Restate keeps you listening: same episode, same voices, simpler words and sentences. Your teachers, creators, and schools get it first.
If the problem is another language entirely, Interpret Cloud is the live interpreter.
