Language learning research and data
Original, fully cited research on how people actually learn languages, and where they get stuck. Every figure is sourced and every study is free to read and to cite.
- Netflix Hours as Study Hours: The Immersion MathWe already spend hundreds of hours a year watching TV. The research says that time, if it were understandable, could cover a real share of what fluency takes.
- Why People Quit Learning a Language: The Time ProblemHuge numbers of people want to learn a language and start. Most stop. The reason they give, more than any other, is that it takes too long.
The research points one way: make the time you already spend count. That is what LingoBinge does with the shows you already watch.
