The first thing that sprung into my mind while reading this thread was LR. The forum sure is a different place now than it was then; I wonder if LR would have been at all appealing to us if it had been posted today instead of back then? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Here is more explanation.on why one should take a day off
according to the book. According to the medical research that the author read in Germany, there is a special process when learning a language. ( *so never mind my second post which stated it was for "knowledge". I wrote that when I didn't have the book with me) First of all, the brain stacks up all the info on the new language. Then it starts analyzing and organizing. Finally when the brain picks up the pattern of the language, it makes the room for the foreign language. However, if one does not take a day off, then the brain will be keep stacking up without a chance to organize the new information. The author used the analogy of organizing after a moving day.

The author stated German is like a mother language to him.
He also stated that he got the highest level on TOEIC. Which polyglots say listening is important? Correct me if I am wrong but I believe following individuals hold such opinion Steve Kauffman and Laoshu And I believe the previous topic on this section of the forum talks about the importance of listening, especially in the beginning. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Steve Kaufmann does indeed spend a lot of time listening and reading to short texts in order to internalize a language; Moses on the other hand seems to be more interested in mastering the basic grammar patterns (correct me if I'm wrong).
Do you have any videos where we can hear him talk? I used to teach English in Japan; a high TOEIC score doesn't necessarily correlate to high conversational skills. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Siomotteikiru's method would need a lot of patience, but it didn't ask you to transcribe an unknown language without even specifying how to do it. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

My post about religion was a half joke.
I think this method may not work if you don'tk now the spelling system, or even foreign writting system. When I was young I heard "rhythm is a dancer" as "reza meza densa". I think you have to learn grammar, and listen a lot, but well.. I have not tried the method... 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I added more information on this method and I wrote that this book's title is 영어 공부 절대 하지마라(Never Study English). It was intended or Korean people, most of whom do know the basic sound system and alphabets used in English. I am sorry I failed on my brief translation of what was tried to cover in 2 books in total. Nevertheless, I believe that I acknowledged the problem of this method when learning languages that has different/more sounds or/and writing system in the second post. It was and still is my intention to find out what can be done to fix this flaw since I am planning to learn Japanese. Any help will be appreciated.
