Lack of engagement is why "methods" fail.

I agree that lack of engagement is one of many possible reasons a method could fail,but you make it sound like it's
the only one.

If you don't get engaged, then all the other reasons why people can fail just don't get a look in. In other words, if
you aren't really playing there is no game.

If someone fails due to a lack of resources, are you going to say they failed because the lack of resources kept them
from being engaged? If so, how is that useful to anyone?

Someone who really wants to learn, finds the resources.
Mind you, the problem these days is not so much a lack of resources, it's an abundance of resources causes
problems. The problem is knowing how to choose from all that's available.

(OAM I have to find how you guys do that quoting thing... :-)

I was very enthousiastic about Irish for some time, until it dawned to me that you have to listen to a language which has such an orthography - otherwise you won't get anywhere.

That's like saying someone who really wants to learn is engaged, and implying being disengaged isn't a valid reason
for failing to learn.

There is a quote button under each post. Reply to the post by hitting that button instead of replying below.
