Method of study - German
For many years during my studies with English, I never thought about another way of learning instead of my almost 4 years studying in a regular way having 2 hours per week at an English School in Brazil. Due to that, I couldn’t develop my English skills the way I wanted to, I don’t blame the teachers, they were great, but all I did was counterproductive. Steve Kauffman used to say that learning a language should be fun and, in the past, it wasn’t.
Currently, I’m learning another language, German, in my opinion, it’s way harder than English and it needs way more effort to learn. After watching lots of videos, I found a method of learning very interesting. I searched and downloaded random texts in German (<a href="

I did not come up with this method. I watched a Luca Lampariello’s video, and this is his method.
Now, I would like to know from you all, what method of learning a new language do you guys are using? Or If you have ever had a experience like me during my English learning.
Thank you very much!
