For instance, There are native English speakers who cannot properly speak "subjectively good English". But they usu. do not have any problems understanding the pragmatics of how they or others speak in general.
Rosetta Stone lacks the sufficient pragmatics aspect, a good reason it has become a grammar/lexicon/phrase archive for tourists.
