It is admittedly more common to see parallel texts, say Italian on the left page and the English translation on the right. Why interlinear fell out of favour is a little bit of a mystery to me.

I think because word-for-word interlinear translations are very hard to make, while
parallel texts and any other course forms (dump some artificial text together with a word list and some grammar rules) are very easy to make. Plus these latter can be made again and again and keep students busy (and paying) for ages. It's a whole industry :) Also, the way they used to learn greek texts or latin texts before capitalism was introduced in the education sector was reading through loads of these glossed interlinear word-for-word translations, pretty efficient as you encounter far more vocabulary than any current day course and are immersed in the language from day one instead of having to go through tiny artificial texts and high freq word lists and little bits of grammar. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Heads up (or reminder, can't remember who knows)
it's worthwhile joining www.forum.language- learners.org as most of us moved over there after technical problems here. You can of course continue to use this site but you might find fewer responses to your posts. 1 person has voted this message useful |
