You do not need to choose between speaking from day one and waiting for years. Start production early, but make the difficulty progressive.
Read article →Close reading and high-volume reading solve different problems. Strong learners use both rather than turning either one into a religion.
Read article →Grammar explanations can clarify the system; pattern practice makes that system usable under time pressure.
