Mike and Leo finalize our series on the three essentials of language learning. In part III, they briefly recap the first two of the three essentials - Exposure and Motivation - and introduce you to the last one of the tripartite - USE. They talk about why it is important to produce output (speaking and writing) and how it contributes to your language learning and development.

More specifically, Leo and Mike talk about:

  • why input (listening and reading) is important when learning a language

  • why communication is essential to improving your language skills

  • the role of interaction

  • how taking risks with your language use is a good idea

  • what types of activities you should avoid when learning

If you are a learning a language, these episodes are for you!
