Hello Steven, I agree with you. I think a combination of immersion and grammar is good. You may have heard of the linguist Stephen Kaufmann? He has a number of videos on youtube that might be of interest to you. He argues that, in the initial stage of language learning, listening and reading to material that interest you are the most important skills to work on. He argues that we can acquire grammar through recognising patterns through repeat exposure. Of course he doesn't dismiss grammar completely (there may be specific things we need to check out). But rather, states that the emphasis should be on comprehensible input with stimulating material. It's an interesting topic.

We’re living in a lockdown and the state is making us <s>to</s> shutdown our needs. We‘re reading the updates about what the newspapers say<s>s.</s> The journalists are getting their information from medical scientists, writing and telling the stories on the medias everyday.

There are things like figures, how many people are suffering, healed or have already succumbed <s>on </s>to <s>the </s>Coronavirus<s>-cases</s>.

Some newspapers are saying there will be a vaccination <s>for</s> in the near future <s>time</s> or at the latest <s>in</s> by the end of the year.

What could we do in the lockdown when we have to shutdown our lives?

What are you gonna do?
