📚 A lot of language learning resources make false promises like ”Get to B2 after completing this book!” The truth is that the brain needs MASSIVE quantities of input (listening and reading content) to get used to a language.

Fortunately, modern technology is moving language learning forward, unlocking all the input we could ever want!
