Language Classes Got it Wrong: Forget Grammar, Develop a Language Instinct

I have been using the "每日法语听力 (Daily French Listening)" app for the last 2 months. Every day it suggests a few episodes and I was delighted to discover the series "InnerFrench" by Hugo Cotton, a French teacher in Poland. After watching his videos, it dawned on me that why after years of learning French in school, it didn't enable me (or give me the courage) to have a meaningful conversation with native speakers.

That's because schools or languages classes got the best order for learning reversed.
