Of course you have to learn grammar and vocabulary. But if you don't engage with native speakers at some point, that's really all you will learn.
Like I said before, these kinds of programs can't teach fluid comprehension. It has to become 2nd nature at some point, or you will forever be doing translations in your head and not following the conversation well enough.
I arrived in Germany knowing how to ask for bathrooms and beer. I left Germany being able to converse about global politics, philosophy, and stuff like that. |
