I opened the article and as soon as the beginning we are greeted with total bullshit: "When it comes to learning a language, immersion is key". No, immersion is not key. I know a bunch of people immersed for years in a foreign country that can’t introduce themselves in the local language. Happened to me too. Immersion only works if one as enough prior knowledge so that some input will be comprehensible, and then build on that. For bootstraping this, traditional methods (books, videos, classes) are required. Also claiming having learn 9 languages without even listening them nor the level attained is cringy as hell. I’m so fed up of the mainstream blog posts about language; opening my own website/company about language learning is on my todo list once I graduate from PhD (related to language education).
