The thought form “they won’t learn it unless I teach it” is a falsity in language acquisition. It is not true. Languages cannot be taught anymore than dreams can be consciously controlled. You can’t think your way to mastery of a language. The language acquisition process – the real stuff – requires that the process occur overwhelmingly in the deeper mind. And yet millions of children all over the world are shamed because they cannot, to push the imagery in the name of snark, consciously control their dreams. The result is one of the biggest scams in the history of education. All they need is to mainly listen and read in class for at least the first two years, with a low affective filter, enjoying the input, focusing only on meaning, and then all that input is churned into the unconscious soup during sleep and it all unfolds naturally. It’s almost too easy!
