🌐
I think I understand [concept] but I want to test that. Ask me to explain it to you as if you're a curious 12-year-old who has never heard of it. After I explain it, tell me: where did my explanation break down or get vague? Where did I use words that assume prior knowledge the 12-year-old wouldn't have? Where did I skip a logical step that I assumed was obvious? Give me a precise list of every gap you found. Those gaps are exactly what I don't actually understand yet.
