Hey there, everybody!
While reading throughout the website, specially the methods section (of learning english), I ran into the Input topic. According to what it says, to recieve a lot of input is the best way to improve your english fluety. It does even say that's the way the memory works: recieving constant input allows you to familiarize with the language. I started to expand the current input tools I've got, but then, a question appeared in my mind: Why (to those who studies engineering and such) we don't just learn chemistry, math, etc. listening to the teachers and looking at the blackboard? That's an input, actually.
I have to say I don't have nothing against this technique of learning. I'm applying it right now, actually, but I would like to know if there's perhaps one faster learning technique out there. And how can you get some input besides the books you may read? If you're not used to watch unsubtitled english movies, and you don't live with anyone who effecively speaks the language, how are you supposed to raise the level of input you recieve?
If you analyze this technique you realise this is all about memorizing whole phrases. I was wondering if you could read a book loudly to develop your hearing at the same time you expand your vocabulary. All of this attaching to the right pronouncing, of course. Would that work? (that's the way you learn chemistry and maths, practicing them, not just listening about them).
Thank you for your time,
Rafael
