I dislike that language acquisition often involves saying aloud a lot of sample sentences that are not true.

My husband does not live in Osaka!

My aunt's book is not on the table!

Lies!

@brainwane The comprehensible input people apparently agree with you, since they think you basically don’t talk at all until you basically know the language 😛

@brainwane I have been learning Spanish with Dreaming Spanish last 6 months or so and I do sorta see where they are coming from on waiting to acquire a lot of the language before speaking. With ~400 hours of Spanish, I am comfortable enough understanding the language that I have noticed a bunch of things about the pronunciation and differences in accent that I am sure I would have to consciously change if I had been speaking from the start.
