How to learn English?
I have just been looking at the home page of the antimoon site. I know this might sound rather sycophantic but I have recently been subjecting myself to the ordeal of learning a foreign language - Polish - and studying Grammar.
The Internet Grammar of English

I have never understood such expressions as 'present perfect' 'past simple' etc. Why would I need to? You don't need to understand this sort of Grammar in order to speak and understand English.
Motivation
Learning how to learn
Wanting to learn
I think these are the sort of skills that people need to pick up. It is quite true that people can live in a foreign language environment without ever picking up that language.
