I’ve read his books and many others dealing with the same topics and I kept asking: what is REALLY going on here? Phonics has to be a part of any reading program, right? Isn’t it the simplest way to figure out a word you don’t know?

It is more than just good practice, though. Putting your thoughts into your new language forces you to learn not just words and rules, but also specific ways to express what you want to say. We all talk about different things and have different interests, right?

It's the same with learning Spanish. So good digital media learning courses use that method. Go directly to what you want to say, get the pronunciation right, converse, expand on that. Keep expanding. Go from idea directly to the expression of that idea. Don't get hung up on rules. The formalization comes later.

So, in just a few short paragraphs you have learnt some basic Spanish words and phrases. How to greet someone and ask where something is, as well as how to say what you want or need. If you try to say these things with a Spanish accent your pronunciation will be better -- a simple trick that helps.
