There should be a balance between the two. Listening is equally important as reading.

There should be a balance between the two. Listening is equally important as reading. Reading gives you insight of the theory, enhances your vocabulary and keeps you aware of the Grammar of that language whereas listening or watching videos enhances the practical use of that language. Every language has a particular accent and tone and to learn those accent and tone, one must be exposed to audio-visual media. read less

This is an excellent question. lets start with the world's 2nd most-spoken language, English. people have a bad concept about the fact that American English is more stylish than British English. But if you read the origin of Celtic And Saxony languages, English was very different from the modern-day genre. People watch Hollywood and get addicted to words like 'wanna','gonna' without knowing the basic root of that word, let alone making a proper sentence. But to really learn a proper language, you don't need to simply read books or watch TV. One thing that you should constantly practice is speaking to yourself and your friends in the same possible style and accent in a different language every single moment. But if you are speaking French with an Australian, it wont help. only the originals know their own language better. Regardless of your Origin, practice alone will change your accent automatically. Thank you. Here is an attachment for your better understanding. read less

TV makes you more familiar to hearing the target language, on the other hand reading improves your grammar of the language.

Hi Oscar, This depends to the ability of the individual. If the individual is aware of the basics of that language like reading and writing but not so sure about the communication skills of that language it's always better to watch movies or soap operas of that language. We humans have tendency to learn things from movies quickly rather from a book. If the individual is starting from scratch then it's better to make a friend/tutor who can teach the basics of that language. That way it will be easy to understand that language. read less
