This is precisely what I did with Latin. I had a friend read the entire Tridentine Mass text, as well as the gospel of Mark in Latin. The problem however, is that I find myself getting bored (perhaps I chose the wrong thing to listen to, or maybe I'm not doing it correctly). A native Korean speaker did the same for me as well.

I have read all this thread and I have a question.
If you have good reading skills in a language, but bad listening skills, how can you adapt this system to develop natural listening skills. Supposing our goal is only to develop native-like listening skills. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The only audiobook in Chinese with a written translation in English or French that I found is the Bible. Could I use the listening-reading method with it despite the fact that I am not religious at all?

Easy - just alternate between reading the l1 and reading the l2 while listening to the l2 each time. Once you can understand the l2 text as well as you understand the l1 text, start using solely the l2 text along with the l2 audio. The only difference between this and the regular listen-reading is the lack of stage 3 - orally shadowing the l2 audio while reading the l2 text. This way, you won't learn to speak, but you'll still learn to read and listen like a native. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you. This method can be very useful, but it is not easy to find ten hours every day for three days. Why don't use a step listening only L2 without reading neither L2 or L1 texts? I think it basic. I am using a variation that I find very useful. I speed up the L2 audio every time a listen it. I use audacity. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No problem. It's a good idea to try variations. One change I made was reducing the time I spent doing it each day. If ten hours is too much, perhaps try fewer hours, until you find a number you can keep to. I agree speeding up the audio can help, as long as you can still understand it :^) The reason I suggest alternating between the L1 and L2 texts while listening to the L2 is so you can match what you hear to what you read. But if you can already read the L2 well, then you don't need the L1, and could just read the L2 while listening to the L2. That way, you can pick up (by reading) anything you miss in the audio. If you use the audio by itself, there won't be a way to learn the parts of it you don't understand. That's where the text is useful; it's like subtitles for your audiobook. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I agree with you. If we can read in the target language, maybe it's better listening and reading L2 at the beginning and listen L2 without reading afterwards. I am not sure if it's worth to listen L2 and read L1 if we can read the target language with more than 80 percent understanding. And speed up every time the L2 recording is useful because you increase the exposure: more words (audio or text) by minute. More comprehensible input by minute. And you are training yourself to understand very fast audio. Last time my audio goes quickly than average native speakers. 1 person has voted this message useful |
