That's interesting - the people I was talking with made a point of using the corrected version multiple times over a short space of time, and seemed to assimilate the change. Anedotes aren't data though - if you have evidence to contradict that observation I'd be interested to see it - yes.

Thanks.

Added in edit: you were downvoted - I don't know why, so I've upvoted you.

Thanks for your interest. I mostly learned about this from a friend of mine, and haven't read the articles myself. His first language is English and he's using those insights to learn Mandarin, and even moved from England to Taiwan for that endeavour. I searched for a few keywoards I rememembered from our discussions and found that the Wikipedia page about the Comprehension approach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehension_approach) looks like a good starting point. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_hypothesis and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_period
