Spanish translation:punto débil / área en la que presenta más dificultades

Explanation:
Al leer el contexto, entiendo que el SS y el rank de esta persona en lo que respecta a receptive vocabulary es menor que en el resto de las áreas. Según esto, diría que esta le representa más dificultades que las demás y que, por lo tanto, es su punto débil.

En un diccionario bilingüe de inglés a ruso, encontré esta traducción para weak pocket: слабое место. Según lo que pude leer, esto significaría weak point o weakness.

Adjunto otro uso de weak pocket en un contexto que tal vez podría reforzar la idea de que responde al concepto de punto débil.

In my opinion, this is my weak pocket as a director. I understand clients’ needs, but I think I have a lot of space for development in this area.
