Being exposed to new perspectives: Throughout your learning process, you will have analysed information from specific angles. Input from other learners might open up new perspectives that you had not previously considered.
Boosting self-esteem: beginning to speak a new language involves the process of transferring passive knowledge into an active application of vocabulary and grammar. Many learners fear this transition and prefer to stay in their comfort zone. Observing how other learners leave their comfort zone and actively use the language encourages them to do the same.
Learning from others' mistakes: Making mistakes in the oral production of a language is perhaps the most essential step toward improvement. Learning in a group naturally involves not only learning from your own, but also from your peers' mistakes.
Entertainment: A key element to learning lies in enjoying the learning process. Interaction with others and being exposed to new ideas is fundamental to creating an enjoyable learning experience.
Being exposed to new cultures: Learning a new language inevitably puts you in an environment where different nationalities come together. Exchanging information about various cultures generates curiosity and interest- key elements to the learning process.
