My goal is to speak seven languages by the end of my life, it's work but I got rid of "classical" teaching methods and since then I'm progressing much faster.
Thank you for this thought-provoking article.

Learning a language intuitively, spontaneously, through practice, reading comic books, consumer articles, listening to podcasts, reading blogs and so on has changed my learning. I still study grammar a little, but much less at school or in high school, and the results are better. Language learning is now an integral part of my daily life.
