Howdy!
For about 3 years I've been re-learning German. I'd consider my level to be ~B1. Since /r/German is closed for the time being, is there someone who'd like to discuss thing related to foreign language learning?

Controversial? In what sense? I remember absorbing a lot of his videos a few years back when I was doing a bit of research on how people learn languages and I remember him as a pretty articulate guy who is really into languages. His videos seemed pretty good to me. I do not remember anything I would perceive as controversial. Is comprehensible input considered controversial?
I am asking because I was thinking about writing a blog post about my experience learning Spanish without memorizing (not that there is anything wrong with memorization, it's just that some people - like me - do not handle it well). I assumed that comprehensible input is nowadays considered "normal", a concept that does not need to be defended or even explained much - maybe I live in some kind of a bubble?

I'd watch this before taking Matt vs Japan seriously. Immersion learning in general isn't necessarily useless but people like Matt try to overstate how useful it is for profit.
