A language ecosystem describes a holistic environment that encourages and extends the learning and application of language beyond the classroom. While an ecosystem is a simple concept, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are quick tips to get you started.
Tip #1. Go on language missions (gather and utilize resources).
The concept of exploring is at the center of attention here for good reason. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to find and gather resources that are potential candidates for your language ecosystem. It is not unlike going shopping for furniture, in that you want to find items that will match your personal preference and lifestyle in a natural way. As you search for items to “add” to your ecosystem, you will want to consider how well they function in your life or home.
You might be wondering how one begins a search to find resources. I primarily use search engines, social media, streaming video, and music to look for resources that might work. I am not the only one, however, who has learned to keep an eye out for resources. Since inviting many of my own friends to learn a language with me, many people now send me links to things I might like.
Tip #2: Join a language-learning network
Speaking of people, one of the most essential strategies in forming a language ecosystem is finding the right people to join you on your journey. I call this “forming a language learning network.” While fluent speakers are an excellent resource, I also find that fellow language learners, people who are learning the language just like me, are more patient conversation partners. Finally, I often find that people who share my same interests (say, French cooking, for example), can be excellent companions for listening and speaking practice.

Tip #2 encourages language network seekers to
- try to find highly language proficient participants to learn from.
- try to relate to both proficient and not so proficient participants.
- try harder to bond with more patient and helpful participants.
- give preference to the company of same interestsharing people.
- get to as many language networks as one possibly can.

A Dica #2 orienta o leitor a formar uma rede de aprendizagem que inclua diferentes tipos de interlocutores, ou seja, relacionar-se tanto com participantes proficientes quanto com os não tão proficientes.
O autor menciona três grupos: falantes fluentes como recurso de referência, outros aprendizes que costumam ser parceiros mais pacientes e pessoas que compartilham os mesmos interesses para prática contextualizada.
Portanto, a recomendação é buscar diversidade na rede: cada tipo oferece benefícios distintos (input autêntico, prática acolhedora, motivação por afinidade). Essa ideia de composição heterogênea explica por que é adequado relacionar-se tanto com proficientes quanto com não tão proficientes para enriquecer seu ecossistema linguístico.
