Is it the opinion of this website's authors that fossilization in language learning results from speaking too early, with shaky grammar and bad pronunciation, resulting in the development of bad habits?

Yup. That is the motto of this website.

Quite a lot of fossilization results from being taught fossilized forms. A lot of members here, not the real teachers, spout fossilized forms and we soak them up.

HAHAHAHAHAHA that's awful... And disgusting...
But I really did laugh out loud... Sorry, Guest.
And I don't think that's what this site's authors necessarily think...

Why did you laugh out loud? It's true.

Kewl. I wonder where the founders are, or Josh Lalonde?
I wonder what the founders think of fossilization then?

I haven't really put a lot of thought into second-language teaching philosophy, but I definitely think fossilization is a risk. I have some bad habits in French that I must have picked up when I was a kid, and I'm having a hard time reversing them now.
