I know people who began with this method. It's easier if you read websites and you use online dictionaries. If the language has a different alphabet, I do not know. Maybe the NORSK EXPERIMENT is interesting for you. Enjoy. http://www.apronus.com/norsk/index.htm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As stated by Arekkusu, the first step in language learning is to build a solid base to understand audio and texts. It's a reasonable idea to start using a method like Assimil, Teach Yourself, FSI or even Pimsleur.
Next - not necessarily after finishing the above programs, but as soon as possible - I would start working with native materials. When studying French, I've got a really good listening skill by watching French in Action and dubbed sitcom shows that I was used to, like Friends. Reading skills were acquired reading books, but I couldn't have done it if I had skipped the first step (the basis). It can be frustating listening or reading to advanced material even in this intermediate phase - in my case I've started with The Little Prince, than Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, and later on more advanced books. The active skills - speaking and writing - should also start soon. Most language learning programs teachs this to some extent. I like to use novels particularly in conjuction with the Scriptorium technique proposed by Arguelles (transcribing the novel while speaking the sentences aloud). After learning a language, novels are a very useful tool to maintain the language skill. And I find it an entertaining way to do it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am trying this to see what it gives. I have the book in the language I want to learn as well as in my native
language plus the audiobook in the language I want to learn. So far I have splitted up some sentences as well as the translations as cards in Anki a SRS software. So the cards I have right now has the following front and backs : to learn language text -> to learn language audio to learn language text -> native text I have just tried this for a couple of days but have already memorized some sentences as well as I have started to pick a few words where I add addtitional sentences and context to improve my knowledge about them. The downside I can see with this is that beginning from scratch like this requires a lot of repetition as well as getting through the book really, really slowly so I can imagine it being a test of patience as well :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
