What is teach-back for learning?
After studying an idea, explain it in your own words without looking at the source, then check the explanation and repair gaps. It is a way to surface what you can recall and explain, not a score of intelligence.

Questions about learning by explaining
Short, practical answers to common questions. Open a lesson above for examples and a drill.
What should I do when I cannot explain a concept?
Mark the part that breaks down, return to a reliable explanation, and study that connection. Then close the source and try again with a fresh example.
Is a simple explanation always an accurate one?
No. Plain language can help, but keep important conditions and exceptions. If an analogy hides a key difference, name where it stops applying.
