According to some linguist, if you don't learn the pure way, then you will create bad neural pathways within your brain that will stay for life and prevent you from ever achieving real fluency.
This is supposedly the main reason people develop an accent and why many foreigners, despite living in a new country for 20 years, can barely speak the language.
You are supposed to consume content that is very easy. You don't translate in your head, You don't think about the language. You just listen for 1500 hours, with the content slightly increasing in difficulty over time. Then you start reading and talking to people. Reading too early will apparently assign a wrong mental image of the sounds of the language and cause a foreign accent.
By translating in your head, using flashcards and doing grammar exercises, you will progress faster initially, but the bad habits will build up and then you run into issues like not being able to distinguish sounds that native speakers can. This creates the "ceiling" due to the neural pathways which have been formed and according to ALG they remain for life.
The theory is called Automatic Language Growth.
It is pretty much input but with a very purist approach. The method does work but I don't believe in the schizo parts of it. Bad habits can be fixed. Also waiting over 1000 hours before you start reading is a meme. Most foreigners that I know, who barely speak German, just don't put in any effort
