What is comprehensible input?
Comprehensible input is language you can mostly understand, slightly above your level; Stephen Krashen argued it is what drives acquisition.
Krashen's Input Hypothesis (late 1970s and 1980s) holds that we acquire language by understanding messages, not by studying rules. Graded readers, slow podcasts and learner-friendly video are typical sources. Critics argue output, interaction and explicit study also matter, but almost everyone agrees massive understandable input helps.
Examples
Graded readers at your level; learner podcasts; TV with target-language subtitles; Comprehensible Input YouTube channels
Kungfucius says: Understand a lot of stuff, slightly too hard for you, for a long time. That is the whole secret, and it is annoyingly true.
