Hi Brookie, for me the most important thing is learning from my mistakes. Because of that I need as a learner, to be corrected by a teacher, ir order to improve. Also, I think learning a language is most of times a mechanical task. To fix the structures in the brain sometimes you have to hear a native first and repeat and repeat what he or she have teached you. It is a good way to learn a language in a natural way, without trying to translate from your own language.
