I studied about Karshen's theories in graduate school, what a please to listen to him talk, thank you for this, peace.

Awesome man ! I love listening to professor Krashen ❤

A profoundly wise scholar ❤the most influential linguist in my life ❤

感谢 professor Krashen，感谢 Language❤

I think this would be the meeting of the century!

I really like what he said about remaining motivated - because that's who he is😄 Finally a decent answer to people seeking tutorials on _how to like stuff_ essentially. The problem lies within the question.

Wondering how to apply your theory to reading disability students? Thanks

To become a polyglott was my childhood's dream... At 59, I follow my heart : nobody will stop me once again. Thank you for your tips. You're examples for all of us. Impossible n'est pas français, n'est-ce pas ? alors let's go !

At around 24:00, he advises not look up words, but how else would you learn what they mean? Maybe you can have a rough guess from context if the material is 98+% comprehensible but finding material that's at the exact right level throughout your whole language learning journey is difficult. Even then, I'm a native English speaker and when I come across new and uncommon words like "recalcitrant", I have to consult a dictionary because I just can't figure it out on my own.

At some point you may know separately 98% of the sentence and not know three words and no context in the world will give you a hint what a certain word is if you are not in the know (i.e. know specialised vocabulary or high register vocabulary).

Brilliant interview ! Suggestion for anyone who wants to read in a second language ... Kindle ... I have learnt spanish and german mostly on kindle book store. The filters take a bit of getting used to but there is so much stuff. I read science fiction in french, fantasy in spanish and modern fiction in german. I also use the text to speech for the first few months to get the sounds of the language.

How many hours did it take you to learn german

What a guy! "Most probably it's illegal, but it has to be done" 🔝 There's no such thing as "ethical capitalism" though.

Yes there is

Stephen Krashen has a famous video , using teaching the German language to introduce the concept of 'comprehensible input' to an expectant world. Before the talk, Krashen put a lot of thought into how best to explain the concept of comprehensible input. What does he do, so that even the slowest among us can grasp the concept of 'comprehensible input'? He draws a circle, and then draws a nose on it, and says 'die Nase'. He points to his head and says 'Kopf'. He writes the symbol '2' and then says 'Zwei'. Allegedly, this is 'comprehensible input'.... I beg to differ. How in the world is that not explicit instruction, when Duolingo showing you a picture of an apple with the words 'La manzana' underneath is held up as an exemplar of explicit instruction?

Hey dear Richard - Steven I can categorically testify that language is totally innate You are born with a massive dialect 😅 yes I do remember not just being born but being in the womb I have tried reaching out to some but with no interest I can prove and affirm this to you an indeed shock the world I do hope you will reply and indeed ask a question Imagine the worlds great blindness to human speech 😮 from a scriptures view did Adam get taught to talk -no At babble did the people get taught language no at once it was down loaded to them At Pentecost - no An much more

Krashen's claims are sadly all based on anecdotes . research has shown that children do not learn in the same way as adults. He states that there's nothing wrong with admitting you're wrong. Unfortunately he has never heeded this advice. His theories are outdated and he seems to refuse to review his own theories, preferring to endlessly repeat the same stories to fill in the time, even in this 'chat'.

@@charliesomoza5918 The new studies which show that the best way to learn what 'Auge' means is to have Stephen Krashen draw a picture of an eye for you and then say 'das Auge'? In his video explaining comprehensible input, Krashen used explicit instruction to teach a language.....
