These were the words renowned linguist Prof. Dr. Stephen Krashen used in his famous presentation In the 80s, when he introduced the acquisition-learning hypothesis.
It totally revolutionized the way people thought of how to get better at another language and trumped traditional language learning methods based on outdated 19th century models.
Up until now, study after study confirm his hypothesis.
So today, I’d like to introduce you to his profound ideas so you understand how “learning” a new language actually works.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between “learning” a language and “acquiring” a language
- Why knowing grammar rules doesn’t help you when speaking
- The counterintuitive truth about how you actually become fluent and confident in speaking
- Why acquiring a language is actually “effortless”
- The only 2 ways how you can acquire a language
- The counterintuitive truth about why speaking and talking is just a result of “comprehensible input” and not its cause
