The Science of Learning Languages: Flashcards Aren’t Enough

The verdict is in: traditional methods like flashcards and grammar drills fall short because they don’t provide enough Comprehensible Input.

Scientists have learned that THE KEY to second language acquisition is “Comprehensible Input” (CI).

The Science behind FabuLingua’s methodology

Maximizing Comprehensible Input

The more Comprehensible Input, the Better

FabuLingua is based on Dr. Stephen Krashen’s Comprehensible Input theory. It states that we acquire language naturally when exposed to meaningful, understandable input like stories and conversations—not through rote memorization.

Tell me a fact, and I’ll learn.
Tell me a truth, and I’ll believe.
But tell me a story, and it will live in my heart forever.
