The article I read was on how language learning can be different when it is coming from outside the classroom. This article is a strong supporter for people to receive outside the classroom exposure because often time the classroom method of learning a language can be insufficient. If language can be thought in a less formal setting then it helps the person tie learning the language into something that they see happening in an everyday surrounding. The article goes on to discuss how a native language speakers deal with learning new lemmas everyday and how it is impossible to teach over 42 thousand terminologies inside a formal classroom. That's a reason that the article advises people to scout outside the classroom for different opportunities where they can be exposed to the language they're trying to learn in an every day type of scenario.
The article also discussed how muti language speakers know a thousand of "extra" words which, if you're bilingual, you start to connect those words into your mind and bring up the different meanings behind them. An idea that raised was learning language through film watching. In the case of children, they are able to pick up multiple words from short subtitled films while adults will pick up words even without subtitles due to the context that lays within the screen. You can easily see this occur in countries like Belgium where they really don't have any TV shows that are in their native language.
