About
Language learning is not about transmission of content from one head to another, or something passively absorbed from a device.
Production of language and one's capacity to do so has to be stimulated - an engaged mind learns more effectively. The other factors that limit progression in a foreign language - shyness, lack of fluidity, difficulties in pronunciation, losing the thread - can be less prohibitive in a learning environment that embraces exciting immersion, production and recognition of language in fun ways, intrinsic motivation rather than pressure to reach goals, and if possible, a little bit of lunacy.
