For the first 30 years of his life, Richard Boydell couldn’t speak or write. He could just listen and read. At 30, he wrote the first English sentences in his life. And they were all written in perfect English! Boydell’s case shows that input may be enough to learn English well.

Input is the difference between you and a native speaker. Input can give you natural, fluent, correct English. Input should be your new religion. What is input and why you need it to learn English well — read all about it in our new update!
