I understand the purpose behind using flashcards to learn a foreign language, but it's still based on the wrong principles and it's NOT an effective way to learn a language❗

Let me show you with several examples I'M COMPLETELY SURE you can relate to, why this is not necessary and we shouldn't teach grammar for true language acquisition❗

Most people think error correction is a good practice and that language learners errors should be corrected because you're gonna learn how to say things properly...but FORTUNATELY, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY❗  

Here we obviously need to get into the differences between language learning and language acquisition, but let me be clear: feedback and correction the way we traditionally think about them actually play no role in second language teaching.
