Episode 66!

In this episode we discuss the effectiveness of subject-specific language learning. Does it work better than a more generalized approach to learning a language?

Many language learning APPs and books as well as many language classes are general in nature, that is, they don't focus on any ONE topic, opting, instead, for a more broader apporach to a variety of topics.

But is this better than focusing in on one subject? If you wanted to learn another language, is it better to pursue a subject you enjoy rather than use a broad-based APP or textbook?

Based on real-world experience, both from language learning itself and in-classroom teaching experience, this episode discusses some of the pros and cons of such an approach, and some of the other things to consider when trying to learn another language.
