I like this take. For Spanish, Portuguese, French so much of my input is based on interviews, podcasts, and movies/news in my target languages. Treating them the same way I would English on a daily basis. Besides just relying on Duolingo .
I agree with you about not getting lost in getting every word right it actually slows down learning. I found that when I just spoke, fully aware of my mistakes, it revealed areas I needed to improve that I later tailored to my learning plan. Letting input flow even when imperfect feels uncomfortable at first, but it’s amazing how quickly the fog lifts once you allow yourself to just follow along. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for taking the time to learn Japanese.
I am still studying English myself, but I truly feel that what you said is exactly right.
Thank you for reminding me of something important.
So basicly, and i agree. Go to the local library get childrensbooks watch children tv.
Currently learning Italian and this is helpful! I need more Italian media.
I am currently learning German, and I must say that the only thing that works for me is to meet people and try to talk to them in German.
That’s what actually forces me to improve and helps me memorize the rules.
