input means put in language.. it means language is put into you.. if you want to learn language but you don't understand the language input, it feels bad.. that's not good..

[edit] good

the storaysker's art is to give you input you understand and give you input that you care about.. you want to learn language and you now get what you want.. so you feel good..

so to make input good, the storyasker must make your input:

• understandable, so you get it
• meaningful, so you care

the way the storyasker gives you input you get and you care about is simple: the storyasker doesn't tell you the story.. the storaysker asks you the story

[edit] happy ending

the more good input you get and the more you react to it, the more language you understand and the more comfortable you feel with language.. pretty soon, you'll start to speak language you understand.. speaking in a language is a thing called output..
