In regards to Spanish Language learning, Krashen explains how he maintains a mutual relationship of cooperation with native speakers of the language, allowing his mind to work in order to respond correctly. At home he continues to practice listening to different resources in the language. So the dissent that a person has in learning determines much of their success.

Phonetics is a fundamental system when it comes to improving speech skills, it is responsible for teaching the correct way of speaking and pronouncing. It also relies on exercises that allow the connection of thought with speech, For example, children are better at reading words presented in a list and uttering them aloud

For Krashen the acquisition of a language involves using the basic skills that by nature every human being possesses. That means that speaking, listening, and general understandment are fundamental when learning

For Krashen it's important to let the kids choose what they want to read. The assigned reading only causes children and teens to read with certain disdain, and therefore it will make them dislike reading

Communication between people with other cultures and languages is now easier thanks to technology, which obviously facilitates certain aspects of the second language learning.

Giving students as much context as we can. We can't expect them to understand everything immediatly, especially if they're begginers. So find other ways to give them an idea of what you're talking about, and even include a little bit of their first language in the contextualization

According to Chomsky, reading levels have decreased. The value of books is also lower than before. This may cause a negative effect on language related tasks in an academic context, such as writing an essay

# data[].attributes.body
For Krashen, the decline in the number of people who still read is a recent phenomenon. He points out how until 2010, the reading rate for children and teenagers was very high, because during that time there was a high amount of reading material that was interesting to young people, such as the Harry Potter saga and comic books. Krashen suggests that in order to fix the low number of young people who read, we should put out books that they can be interested in

Chomsky talks about two dilemmas he has with his theory: he states that the Language Acquistion Device was supposed to be a very complex system, giving all the data that it supposedly holds. However, he accepts that historically speaking, it's unlikely for the LAD to be complex because the homo sapiens developed it in a short period of time

Krashen states that we can use the same methodologies for teach language to children to adults. He said that the LAD as the universal linguistics stills exists on adults we just have to find a way to reach it.
