Learning a new language can sometimes feel like navigating a labyrinth — full of twists, turns, and the occasional dead end. Traditional methods often emphasise memorisation, grammar drills, and listening comprehension. While these are undoubtedly vital, they may not always cater to every learner’s needs or preferences.

Let’s embark on a journey to understand this method, evaluate its pros and cons, compare it with traditional techniques, and explore how you might incorporate its principles into your own language learning journey.
