You have "hit" my academic language learning experience "on the nail!!" Merci, Danke, Gracias...!

i dont think its the class's job to teach you how to learn languages. you enrolled to learn a specific one, not how to learn all.
classes are very useful for me, for whatever reason i respond really well to them. i just think they go incredibly slow, i feel they couldve taught me what they taught me in 3 years in only 1.

so true!

...to paraphrase a quote I like "only dead languages should be taught in classrooms".
I think that this is broadly true. Teachers should be on hand to assist, guide and support but should get out of the way of the language acquisition.

Thanks for this video. I wanted to ask what would be the best way of teaching a language so that it doesn't interfere with students natural and independent learning process. How can the teacher do it in an easy way? And how should someone teach a language on youtube so that its not a waste of time.

I've had the same conversation about school/curriculum. I've gotten A's in French and Spanish (I took SPN from 8th grade to Intermediate level in college) and I can't speak any. I did learn how to conjugate verbs though.

The language curriculum is just bad;it's lazy (in the UK). Their goal is an exam not language proficiency.
Progress with learning a language, for me at least, is decidely non-linear.
There are cycles of frustration, as I try to understand and work through things, then there are breakthroughs, and progress is rapid. Rinse and repeat.
This seems pretty natural I think, but it doesn't lend itself to academic measurement.

You've made a lot of valid points here that I agree with. I was going to respond in a comment, but it's getting to be too long and I think I will post a video response instead.
