What is the best way to learn a second language? I was watching a video about second language acquisition from professor Stephen Krashen and he has some interesting theories about how we should go about learning another language. He says we need to understand messages and we need compelling input. We need to spend time with content or materials that make us completely interesting. Another interesting thing he says is about how reading help us with grammar. Instead of studying grammar itself, reading is a more effective way to learn it. I find this to be especially true because I do believe that reading helps you to write better and be a better communicator in general.
