Re: The limits of comprehensible input?

As it is no secret, children keep learning by comprehensible input.
An adult could choose an approach that is (somewhat) similar.
But within different circumstances, no doubt.
Adults have their own learning advantages.
And what about at least skimming through a grammar book sometimes, in addition to being exposed to comprehensible input? This is a shortcut, unless one is able to spot "All of Those Grammar Patterns" anyway. And even if he/she really is able to do so, grammar books do have their own unique benefits, too.
