Natural language learning without a teacher – is the name of the book I want to share with you today. At the end of this article, you’ll also be able to download it for free in PDF to check this method by yourself. I’m afraid that after this publication I’ll lose all my students because the method described here is extremely easy and effective. Even the author’s website doesn’t work anymore (as he probably became bankrupt after revealing this secret).
The author of this book is David Snopek, an American of Polish origin, who learned the Polish language individually as an adult. Without any courses, tutors, and textbooks, just by… reading Harry Potter!
No doubt, it wasn’t the only thing he did. But no rush. At first, a bit of theory.
Why this method works
David Snopek explains (and he’s not the first or even the second one who came to this conclusion) that at schools languages are taught like maths. They give you certain formulas to remember (grammar rules) and teach you to do sums (to make sentences) based on them. But it’s absolutely unnatural! Nobody uses their native language like this.
The thing is, you shouldn’t derive language from grammar because grammar is derived from language. Real-life language usage (comprehension, speaking) is an unconscious activity, it happens automatically.
Linguists claim that there is a special Language acquisition device (LAD) in a human brain. It works when we receive information through reading or especially listening. At the same time the information should be understandable and interesting, and situation free from any stress.
For as long as there have been rules, restrictions, and requirements, there have been people trying to find a way around these, to “cheat” in some way. Depending on what was used for controlling and enforcing certain rules during different time periods, those willing to cheat have been attempting to trick people, at first, then the machines, and, finally, computer systems and programs – with varying combinations of failures, unexpected consequences and things that actually worked.
