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way people thought of how to get better at another language and trumped traditional language learning methods based on outdated 19th-century models.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 confirms 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
So don’t miss the presentation and check it out here.
