I think maybe hes emphasizing the need to make your work active, as well as the more passive activity of listening and reading. Many people will listen to this interview (like the comments below), and now assume that listening and reading is not important, and speaking is the only way. However, if you listen to the polyglot project interview with Luca, and nearly every other interview with him(reaching advanced fluency with Luca and David mansaray on youtube), he discusses how he spends 2-4 hours a day reading, and that hes read more English books than Italian. Even his daily schedule described in this podcast is full of input, which he has consistently put in over years. I think what hes saying is that if you want to reach an incredibly advanced level of speaking (take his English for example), then it requires both the massive input of enjoyable and comprehensible input, but also the consistent output of increasing speaking. So hes not understating the importance of input, just commenting that output is also crucial (if the aim is to speak well).

I love astronomy and this kind of stuff (though amateur) and I wish I could get to the level to watch that in whichever language.

A lot of people (myself included in the past), put off speaking out of fear, even though I assured myself it was because I should focus on input first. While some people do indeed seem to be able to develop some ability to speak and write from lots of listening and speaking, I agree with Luca that most people will make much faster progress if they begin actually communicating people from a very early stage.

Everybody is different, and certain things do work for some that don’t work for others, but in my experience as learner and teacher, I have to agree with Luca that input without output will not get most people very far. That said, getting lots of meaningful input is certainly critical. I talk more about the input vs. output debate here if you’re interested: http://l2mastery.com/blog/linguistics-and-education/methods/input-vs-output-debate/

But as he himself often says, anyone can accomplish what he has if they do the right things. It is about attitude, not innate ability.

While listening and reading are certainly important, I also agree with Luca that they alone will not get you to spoken fluency.

In Spanish I begin with output and in six month I can communicate with everyone. Then, in my experience, output is most important than input. I liked to believe that I would become fluent with the iput, but in reality it was just a lie I told myself, because I was afraid to get out of the comfort zone.

I have learned that learning languages is a lot like making a pizza, you need a lot of ingredients!

Do you edit out mistakes or he can speak like this? Apart from Polish we actually offer all languages he speaks at Antosch & Lin Languages. 🙂

He speaks many languages easily and quickly. I often listen and look his video on Youtube. I need to become a polyglotta man and i would to learn English, Spanich, Chinese and German.
