A discussion with Stephen Krashen.
The clarity of thought of Stephen Krashen is a delight. I was able to talk with him for 30 minutes on language learning. I hope I get the chance to do this again.

An excellent video. After hearing so much of Stephen Krashen from Steve Kaufmann, here we have the two together in supportive discussion.
Great interview. Thank you very much.
It is a great material. Thank you very much. Can I have more?
I am hoping, Stefan, perhaps in a few weeks!
Hi Steve,I really enjoyed your interview with Stephen Krashen. I learned a lot about language acquisition and my method of learning foreign languages is mostly memorizing vocabulary and secondly memorizing all the grammar. I have done this with French, Spanish, German, and Hebrew. I need to do a lot of reading and listening.
Hi, Steve, I`m learning english, I`ve used all the methods you say and I totally agree that comprehensive input is the best efficient way to learn. but, still I have a problem: I enjoy reading, love listening, and I could say that I understand 90% t to 95% of american native speaker say. but, how can I actually develop the skill of speak in english? always I`m struggle with that. even if I try, it`s not easy. how much time do I need in order to really speak with somebody in english. (sorry for grammar mistakes).Love your blog.Victor.
Victor,Don’t be so hard on yourself. You do fine, and the more you speak the better you will get. Notice the language while listening and reading, relax while speaking, don’t expect perfection but believe that you are constantly improving./Steve
Stephen, I really appreciate your personal interest in clear my mind with this issue.I´ll do everything you say, because now I´m convinced that both notice and relax are so important. again, thank you very much.Victor

Hello, my name is Langston and I have a passion for learning languages. I have achieved fluency in 2 languages using lingq. I have become fluent in Spanish and Chinese. Thank you for your works!
Thank you for sharing this VERY good interview. Stephen krashen is the leading second language acquisition expert.
That was a great interview. Very informative:) thank you!:)
Congratulations on getting a chance to interview him and then share publicly!
Thank you, this was a really nice interview 🙂
Very good interview really, but it doesn’t clarify my doubt: how can I learn a language from the scratch just by reading and listening whithout the help of a text-book?
Se, se… krashen è un gran chiacchierone, ma alla prova dei fatti quante lingue parla oltre all’inglese? A me risulta nessuna. E’ come se uno che non sa nuotare volesse spiegare a degli olimpionici lo stile libero. Ridicolo!
