If you're looking for professional quality voice-acting, you can find plenty of it
(including Sherlock Holmes) at audible.de, but you'll have to pay. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ok Day 2 (though the day is not over.)
Time read 7 hours (though there were frequent and sometimes long breaks) Time with German Ok so today was much better than yesterday I was able to start early since classes were cancelled for today which was a nice treat. I am immensely enjoying reading Sherlock Holmes. That is just some fun reading though the language is a bit dated. I am having some problems with Step 1 and 2 of the method though. Mainly because I hate to stop the flow of reading to do them. Step one being to read the text in native language before hand. Step 2 is to listen and read the text in the target language. After about 2 hours of switching over to one and the other I quit and read in English while listening to the German audio. Do you guys think that is a bad idea? In order to get acquainted with writing German I am just going to scriptorium the text in L2. That way I will have meaning to the audio. So that is what I will be doing once I post this. As for progress I am seeing some even now. I still struggle to follow along sometimes when I lose my spot but I have noticed that I can find my spot because I know the word in German usually it is "fenster" or something like that but it helps me find my spot. also during one of my frequent breaks I decided to watch a trailer in Deutsch and though I could not understand all I did catch some words that helped me to get some of the trailer I know that this is small but it made me feel great about this method. (I was even able to laugh at one of the jokes.) I want to write so much more but this is already alot so until the next update. ohh also if you see a z where the y should be it is because i changed my keyboard to the German one and though the main thing that changed was the z and y Edited by destinos on 29 January 2014 at 11:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This problem occurred to me as well, so I figured why not. You can still read in English
while listening in the TL, then do both in TL, and then do reading in English while listening in the TL again, and I don't think you lose anything (except maybe time if you would read much faster than the audiobook, but that's usually not the case for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ok Day 3
Time read 7+ Ok so I could get the energy to post last night because I stayed up to 1 reading. However I feel like LR is more fun than studying. With saying that I have a problem reading ahead (like way ahead) of the audiobook and when I get into the book I get tired of that so last night I started with a audiobook but after like chapter 15 I just started reading without it because I love reading. Another Thing I have a problem with is reading the book once again. See this problem is the worst of all because I think that is essential to the method. This may be why I am not seeing a lot of progress. Has anyone reading saw any progress? What is your method? On the bright side I went on sharedtalk and wrote with a German there. He was 50. He told me that my German was outdated hahaha I guess that what can be expected from Sherlock Holmes. He also could not believe the method. I do not believe using just LR works. I am noticing the words that I studied before are the only words sticking If anyone knows a possible way to fix this. I am all ears. this may be because I stopped reading in L2 1 person has voted this message useful |
