Did it work for them though? They apparently never got past the basics. So IMO it's more likely the opposite; they've distracted themselves from getting on with learning.
- danabramov 4mo agoI started learning a couple of months ago (with a couple of false starts before). What level am I supposed to be at by this point? This is so incredibly condescending I don’t even know what to say.
- lmm 4mo agoGenerally before you presume to teach (a term you've used repeatedly about this post) beginners you should be at least B2 level in the target language.
