There are many, many courses written for "false beginners" that claim to be suitable for complete beginners too. Most aren't suitable. Good luck, but it won't work. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This is an interesting method but anyone who used it
would find their sanity severely challenged after a few weeks of such a punishing schedule. Nonetheless it has the kernel, with adaptation, of some useful approaches. The title is surely a bit humorous - this is very intensive study of languages. It is clearly not for beginners but those who have studied the language at a basic level and want to go to the next 'level'. I like the idea of a repeated exposure but would need much smaller units like 5-10 mins. Of course at that level of smallness it maybe loses its advantage. Maybe I'll experiment but won't be using the method as described. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's funny that you put it that way. At the risk of starting a flame war, I feel that way about Assimil. Don't get me wrong. I'm using it and enjoying it. (And I even think that it's working!) But I am SO VERY GLAD that I had some prior knowledge. - Again, it's a good method and others may have used it from ZERO beginning knowledge, but for me, I'm glad that I had some background. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Why would this start a flame war? Plenty of people think that way, including on this forum. Some people are happier using it with prior knowledge (I think especially if it's one of their first foreign languages, or the first time they use Assimil - the instructions in most of the booklets are less than stellar). 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

How did this post get so many replies? The title made me click on it and after reading a few sentences I was like, "What?".
