At some point I switched my games from German to English, my English skills probably improved more in the first two months of doing that than in the 4 years of classroom English I had before then.
I’ve heard similar from the people who took French or Spanish as ellectives, it seems schools are the worst place to actually learn a language (I’d say including your native one, I learned more about German in Philosophy class than in German class)
I took German for two years without cheating and I can’t speak German, either. Classrooms are the worst places to learn languages, period.
