The book is actually also based on comprehensible input.
The learning through an SRS happens only for the 1.000 most common words of a language and its grammar.
After that, learning is intermixed with speaking, reading, writing and listening to learn vocabulary through comprehensible input.
Still, I have to say that learning the top words and grammar, I got to an impressive level, giving the effort. I can listen to some podcasts, read what people write on Facebook and some articles, and speak with friends in noisy contexts.
