Benny Lewis | Language Hacking and Traditional Learning: Which is better and... can you combine them? @irishpolyglot | Uploaded March 2017 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
When you think about learning a language, do you imagine getting a traditional course book and working through its exercises in a structured way, or immersive approaches that involve speaking and "language hacks" or shortcuts to learn precisely what you need?

For a long time I was all about the second choice, but when Teach Yourself approached me to make a series of language learning courses with them, it left me with a bit of a dilemma! I discuss that in this video :)
