Thanks for reposting these passages Volte.

It was really a strike of lighting when I first read about the listening-reading method. I went through every post of the 50+ page topic. It was so obvious and clear yet no one had pointed it out. Often the most simple things are the most effective as the method proves. I think its important to point out too that the L-R method is not only an excellent tool to learn languages but also a chance to get a real education in litterature. I myself am learning French and names like Stendhal, Zola, Verne, Maupassant, Proust, Flaubert, Hugo, Voltaire etc. meant nothing to me before. There is nothing more I like to do then to share this method with other language learners and witness their excitement to hear of something so simple but so practical and interesting.

A rule of thumb:

if you enjoy Michel Thomas, Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, it won't work for you.

if you enjoy Assimil, it might work for you.

if you enjoy good literature, it will work for you.

Ouch! That really hurts. I'm a big fan of Michel Thomas and his method, he and the L-R methods are and were real revelations for me.....I guess I'm an anomaly.
