Interesting. It sounds like your analytical skills are really amazing which lets you get away with "solving for x".
But sounds like your retention and generative capabilities are underdeveloped because you're able to get away with so much through purely analytic hacks. Many gifted folks suffer from this -- they take so many shortcuts because its so frictionless for them to do so (and they are praised for it) but they end up not developing much deep comprehension (unless it's something that really interests them). This is why many gifted kids struggle with having the grit to do deep work beyond the quick solves. Some things just require work, no matter how smart one is.
Language production is what you might need to focus on, not "solving for" the language.
You might need to use the Feynman method to train your generative skills (which will also train your retention). The Feynman method is a forcing function to train comprehension.
