You're right, of course, it hasn't been mentioned here in this thread. It's only something that is stuck in my brain from other old threads :-) and it wasn't that mindful to write it now. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

As early as 1920 were several novels as parallel texts published and even some selfstudy books from that time have used literature instead of constructed dialogs. One English-German novel had around 700 pages, sorry that I can't name it, I couldn't find it right away. But of course they lack the audio. A few years ago a novel by Jules Verne has been published with parallel text and audio, but unfortunately it isn't available anymore. In the 2005 published book "Fremdsprachen simultan lernen" (Learn foreign languages simultaneously) describes Martin Krause listening and reading of novels, but he left out the parallel text, so it was only listening target language while reading native language. The use of self explanatory texts is also recommended in 1905 by Prof. Teichmann and I find it highly enjoyable! In fact I've done and do it with Hermann Hesse's "Narziss und Goldmund" which is in a lot of languages available. But first I prefer to read crime novels this way, because they use a much easier language. I didn't intend to criticise the posts of L-R or their author(s), but merely note that it's not something new, at least to me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

What's new, to the best of my knowledge, is starting, from nothing, with parallel literature with audio. Components of it are older; the combination isn't. Atamagaii (the person I would call the creator of L-R) has openly acknowledged most/all of your points before, on this forum. I hadn't heard of Prof. Teichmann; I should look into what he wrote. Thanks for the pointer. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I am sorry to make this this thread even longer without adding anything significant. I would like to remind all that this forum is called, and I assume meant to be about, How to Learn Any Language. It's not about how to display one's erudition, nor is it about how to slag off systems/methods that one doesn't like or hasn't tried.
Instead let's say thanks to aYa and those that genuinely try to help. If you don't like L-R to just leave it there and move on (unless there is really something helpful to contribute). Edited by Bob Greaves on 27 March 2009 at 7:39pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
