You can do this wherever you live

Many times I've had people tell me that there are hundreds of methods of Rosetta Stone language learning in which you can enroll or purchase for home study. I reply to that by saying "There are hundreds of language-learning courses that will teach you something about the language but there is only one way to achieve spoken fluency and that is by Comprehensible Input.""Comprehensible input means that students should be able to understand the essence of what is being said or presented to them." (What Is Comprehensible Input? Excerpted from Teaching English-Language Learners with Learning Difficulties)We met this lovely woman in a bookstore here in Guanajuato. After telling us she and her husband were in Guanajuato to study Spanish for six months, I asked her how her classes were going. What she said perfectly describes the Comprehensible Input problem. She told me that she and her husband were enjoying the experience of being in the city and seeing the sights. However, she went on to say, she wished that she could actually understand what her teachers were saying and she wished she had the linguistic skill to ask questions.In the Rosetta Stone German attempt to achieve the highest degree of spoken fluency in the targeted language, you must be exposed to meaningful, understandable, and highly comprehensible input. Progress is made when input is introduced that is at a slightly higher levela little more difficult than the input you've masteredand so on and so on.Comprehensible Input, by the way, does not have to occur in a foreign country where the targeted or desired language is spoken. You can do this wherever you live. Having to "Live in the language" or in the country in which the language is the dominate tongue is a myth."The best methods are therefore those that supply 'comprehensible input' in low anxiety situations, containing messages that students really want to hear. These methods do not force early production in the second language, but allow students to produce when they are 'ready', recognizing that improvement comes from supplying communicative and comprehensible input, and not from forcing and correcting production." (Krashen)And this quote leads nicely into the next Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin America) myth.Myth 3Language Acquisition is different than Language LearningLanguage learning looks something like this:You enroll in a class.
