Parlangi is based on the theory of the American Professor and linguist Stephen Krashen, who has done globally recognised research on second language acquisition.
We translated his five hypotheses into the “Parlangi rules”.
Following them is the best way to learn a language.
ENJOY!
People learn faster when they feel relaxed and are comfortable. Be kind. Give compliments. Be polite. And enjoy listening and talking to each other.
USE COMPREHENSIBLE LANGUAGE
Try to understand each other. Use sign language, drawings, text… Be expressive.
MAKE MISTAKES
Making mistakes is normal in a language learning process. Try. Fail. Try again… Until you get it right.
BE PATIENT
Learning a language takes time. Take it step by step. Listening and reading a lot are the first steps. When you know a few words start using them.
LEARN BY DOING
Learning is fun. Learn like a child learns its first language. Don’t focus on the rules. Communicate a lot: listen, read, talk and write. Practice is key.
