Is there any scientific basis for this method?

Yes indeed! As researchers like Dr. Stephen Krashen have shown over the past 40+ years, receiving comprehensible input, that is, messages that you can understand in the target language, is what actually results in language acquisition. There is now a large literature in linguistics devoted to comprehensible input showing the efficacy of this approach.
