Maybe I wasn't clear enough. When doing only a very small amount of L-R (less than two hours), too many breaks can be counter-productive. However, when doing long bouts of L-R, taking a 15 minute break each 45 minutes is very useful — myself, I get extremely sleepy if I just sit or lie there listening. Of course the most important thing to keep in mind is that it has to be pleasant enough to keep you going. L-R seems to be a lot about customization.

I think in the beginning I had to do less than this, and in small chunks (25-30 min). it's definitely better to do as much as you can [without frustration], though.
btw:

I could start as beginner without suffering.I'm glad I don't have to repeat sentences
like ''CAn I sit here?'' instead I'll repeat Dostoyevski(considering Russian after
German).

Exactly, and you aren't forced to speak before you are comfortable listening to authentic texts. |

You don't really need an audiobook in your native language! I've never used that.
also, try torrents for German audiobooks... that's how I got basically everything I have.
