No.

Although it's been said,
many times,
many ways,
You Need Both.

It's far easier to learn in a structured way, but regardless of what that structure is, after the very earliest stages you need to spend more time outside the "classroom" that in it, whether it's a real classroom or just your kitchen table.

It's far easier to learn in a structured way depending on the person's preferences.

If you work with Michael Thomas, Pimsleur, Assimil or FSI and you get bored to the bones... and you give up, these structured methods are useless for you.

The problem is not about what "structured way" is better or what "comprehensible input-output" method is better, the problem is about how to develop enough motivation and passion (intensity and time) to do the language task.

This thread is the most boring one of the entire forum.


Slucido, you're a robot which repeats three million times exactly the same thing.

Every now and again it's important to repeat the truth.

Ah, but you see, that's reinforcing the desired behavior.

Sorry. I shouldn't let him wind me up. Particularly as this thread was actually starting to deal with some proper meaty issues....
