Ok, Krashen is interesting, and maybe talking more often is good for learning languages only because it gets you to receive correct and comprehensible input from the language

I'm unconvinced to be honest, as pretty much everything else that human learn is made better by practice, but I'm not a linguist.

I still think that proposing to start learning a language by spending 15000 hours (or 1500, or 150) listening to it, instead of trying to practice early on is a very inefficient way to learn a language, compared to pretty much anything
