I tried this method with Japanese.
As I wrote in the other post. And the important thing is, that it's not merely watching, learning grammar and vocabulary is important too. But you cannot neglect the practice as well (watching movies etc). I believe it's a good way to learn a language. Most people reccomend watching it with native subs, actually I don't know many. But there is one, 日本人の知らない日本語 nihonjin no shiranai nihongo - the Japanese language Japanese people don't know. It's Japanese drama about foreigners studying Japanese. It's a new drama and quite enjoyable. WAtching anime is also good (movies are a bit harder). Or some video courses. That will improve your listening skills. me, I have watched something like 1000 anime. firstly I could barely understand,(and it was after I studied some years of this language), after watching a lot of anime I can now understand most of their speech, unless they speak in some strange way, or they talk about some too advanced stuff. Reading manga, is also good, you will see a lot of expressions to learn, new words; but you should try nonetheless, if something intrigues you, you can look up it in dictionary, you can try to guess the meanings anything, just read. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Not exactly true. I'm told (by university professors) that there are cultures in this world where parents don't talk to their children until their children start talking to them, and while the children start talking later than western children, they catch up extremely quickly. So kids can learn without dialogue, but interaction in general is a different matter. A child will no doubt learn to react and anticipate things that will affect him, which is something the TV can't provide. So it's difficult to say for sure whether an average child will get an understanding of a language just from TV, or if the medium is just too passive. I suspect the latter, but that's just a personal feeling. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Inuits are one such people. However, the claim that they "don't talk to their children" doesn't imply that they never do, only that they are not deliberately trying to speak more to the children. Otherwise, why not just sit kids in front of the TV and put shows in 3 or 4 languages? Because it doesn't work. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't think it would work either. But it's difficult to make absolute pronouncements on this because we don't have the data. My theory is that being involved in the environment is required -- eg a child would have problems learning "cold" from the TV -- but I can't say that for sure. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I think this is interesting: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPag e=online&aid=2728540 Language learning with restricted input: Case studies of two hearing children of deaf parents Jacqueline Sachs a1 c1, Barbara Bard a2 Marie L. Johnson a3 a1 University of Connecticut a2 Central Connecticut State College a3 University of Connecticut ABSTRACT: Two hearing children of deaf parents (initially 3;9 and 1;8) had been cared for almost exclusively by their mother, who did not speak or sign to them. Though the older child had heard language from TV and briefly at nursery school, his speech was below age level and structurally idiosyncratic. Intervention led to improvement in his expressive abilities, and by 4;2 the deviant utterance patterns had disappeared. In later years, his spontaneous speech and school performance were normal, though language testing revealed some weak areas. The younger child initially used no speech, but acquired language normally after intervention, with his brother as model. Implications for understanding the role of linguistic input in language development are discussed. Edited by slucido on 27 October 2010 at 5:16pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I think that interaction, and focused studying, are the best ways to go about learning a language.
