What’s an unwritten rule of language learning that every beginner finds out the hard way?

American slang spreads globally because it is short and direct (cool, vibe, ghost), while British slang often relies on hyper-local rhyming slang or regional idioms that don't translate well
I know people lose their train of thought, but abandoning a sentence halfway through without finishing it is infuriating.
They’ll say, "So yesterday I saw...." and then just... stop. Pull out their phone, stare into space, complete silence.
My brain is left hanging, desperately waiting for the rest of the thought. It’s like reading a book with the last page ripped out.
Does anyone else find this insanely frustrating?
