Principle 2 Listening precedes speaking
speaking should not be forced.  Children must go through 
natural way of learning the target language: first they listen and 
internalize the language. As they internalize a cognitive map of 
the target language through understanding what is heard, there 
will be a readiness to speak. The children will start spontaneously 
produce utterances.
The transactions from listening to speaking will have several 
steps of development. First the child will listen and respond ex-
clusively with physical actions and later with simple one-word 
utterances such as “yes” or “no”. After these steps of cognitive 
brain work readiness to speak will arise.
