There is no "Right" or "Wrong" way to learn a language

* There is no need to be afraid of the way a person chooses to learn a language. What's most important is that person is learning and making progress that same person! All avenues towards language learning should be celebrated!<br><br>I am tired of seeing the horrible things people say about Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, Babbel, and even apps like HelloTalk. I am here to tell you that there is no right way to learn a language. I get tired of seeing people shaming other learners for how they are using their free time (and sometimes money) to acquire a language. I see these posts so much, and honestly, they don't have anything of value to say or add. I am a firm believer that the best way to learn a language is whatever way YOU, the individual, prefers. I see these posts and stop to think if these messages are really necessary.<br><br>Some people are not interested in grammar rules! Some people hate language exchange or speaking to people in a language they are learning. Some people don't have access to classes and have to use an app to study. There are many reasons why a person chooses a method to acquire a language. The best way to learn a language is through consistency. A person's methods for learning should be celebrated because that person is taking the initiative to learn a new language.<br><br>So, if you like using Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, or any other app keep using them! If you like the grammar based approach, keep using it! Keep practicing and remember: The "Right" way to learn a language is whatever way YOU prefer!
