I believe I've read that even Professor Arguelles has devoted some time to shadowing his native English. However, according to his systematic study chart at the his website, he didn't during 2007 (the year which the chart was based on). Maybe he mentioned it in a thread somewhere?

He was doing scriptorium in English, not shadowing. Which is not the same scriptorium as with L2 but actually free writing.

I never would have thought it made sense, but when I actually think about it I can see how studying/shadowing a native language could make sense... increase vocabulary, etc. I would never do it, but my hat goes off to luke for doing it... particularly with the Federalist Papers.
Edit: to answer the original question. I study about an hour a day every day. Edited by James29 on 08 March 2013 at 1:49am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I study about 3-5 hours of Persian during the week and almost all day during the weekend.

I really can't say anymore. Back in the beginning it was about 30 minutes a day via Pimsleur lessons and some other material, but now it's a different story. If I read a short article online in French, I no don't time myself; if I have French radio/tv on in the background, I don't track how minutes I "tune in" for. With reading, I'll time it if I use an audio book (approx 18 minutes thus far today), but that's just because my electronics do all the work for me.

I spend roughly an hour reading online newspapers and watching television online. Days off work I can
usually double or triple that. I think a better question would be: How many hours a day do you spend on these forums? 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

And what is the ratio of "time of these forums" / "study time"? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Active study is about one hour most days which counts uninterrupted studying. I don't count passive learning or my vocabulary list learning.
