Stephen’s thesis is that all language learning is done through comprehensible input – how to acquire any language not learn it

This means reading or listening to language that we can mostly understand despite not understanding all the words and structures in it

For Stephen Krashen language acquisition is done in only one way: “We acquire language in only one way: when we understand what people say and when we understand what we read” – Stephen Krashen

“If you do that, … the grammar and vocabulary you’re ready to acquire is there and it’s gradually, little by little, absorbed”

”The ability to speak is the result of listening [and] the result of reading” – Stephen Krashen
