Learning foreign language, Input based learning and Output based learning.

Hello guys,

 

Here in Korea, most of people are firstly learning foreign language from their school, preschool something else. At that places, we can learn about reading, listening. I don't say it is bad because that can't improve foreign language skills, especially Enlgish. The thing is, there are just focusing on grammer, complicated reading paragraph etc. Of course, for Test in school, it is the best way to estimate grade clearly, but for the future, we have to know it is not that fit in our lives.

 

Think in Korean Language case, we do not learn grammer by grammer. Language is some culture that have been stacked for hundreds years. Then there are some people who are saying "It is better way to learn systemically.". Nope, that is totally not. We don't know even Korean Grammer, but we just use and it is not uncomfortable to live and talk to other. In practical perspective, we should think Language is some stack of promise, not detailed grammer world. Just take foreign language naturally like our Korean language.

 

First, we have to know what is important in our lives for English. I mean, these 4 sectors; Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing. I watched some Youtube Influencers and I have thought like that. it says, Language learning can be divided to "Input based learning", "Output based learning". Input based learning is "Reading", "Listening" and Output based learning is "Speaking", "Writing". Every sector is important, but maybe you know, it is better for human to study with speaking, writing than just reading, listening. And it is more important Output based learning to speak with others and write some paper something like that. Finally, you have to more focus on Output based learning. It says proper ratio of Inputbased and Outputbased is 3:7. In that case, Important thing is to express that you've learned, eventhough you think it is wrong sentences. Don't be shy, you even cannot use Korean perfectly, you have to know it clearly. we all think like test, but it is not test, Foreign language is just daily life.

 

Anyway, In that case, I think it is good way thinking some specific circumstances and if u are in there what kind of sentences you will use. It will be like some "Phrases". If you want to order in restraunt, you should think this phrase "Excuse me, I'd like to order". If you want to find some places, "Excuse me, How can I get to the Cityhall", "What time does it take?". Like this, we do not grammarly make sentences in our lives, rather we use some phrases unconsciously. You will say "안녕하세요", You do not use it on detailed grammer analysis. "안녕" "하세요" .. what is that mean? we are normally using phrases in Korean. It is same, actually Korean is hard to learn, but if they learn Korean language by Culture(not Grammer), it will be easier.
