Language learning is easy. In fact, there’s a formula for it. It goes like this: Input + Practice = Learning.
Firstly, let's look at “input”. This is basically language that you listen to, read, and "consume" as a learner. You can find language in books, newspaper articles, DVDs, songs and a thousand other places. Input is the most important aspect of language learning. Just look at it like this: if you never heard or read anything in the target language (English), you would never learn anything. That’s really obvious. But a lot of people forget that and focus too much on things that aren't that important. Remember, babies and young children learnt their first language by being exposed to a LOT of “input” without making any conscious effort to learn – it’s as simple as that.
