I would like to know what do you think about this Glossika sentence method:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAdyAa4oHDA&feature=related This is a description of my method for learning foreign languages through large numbers of sentences. NOT FOR BEGINNERS! If you learned something in this video, then LIKE it and don't forget to subscribe to learn more from my channel. 1. Gather bilingual material for over 10,000 sentences 2. Record 500 bilingual sentences or 1-2 pages every other day. (watch at 10:55) 3. Listen 10x no more than 2 days apart (13:27) 4. Increase the speed 10each time (14:38) 5. How I do 40,000 sentences in 2 weeks (16:08) 6. Record target language sentences again. (16:40) 7. The whole point summed up here: (17:00) 8. Question about knowing grammar? (18:35) 9. My research on memory & brain (21:00) 10. What my students do (22:58) 11. How to do it DIY, writing sentences (25:00) 12. Doing translation (27:42) 9 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

If this method is for polyglots who already know the target languages very well, I think it could be boring to read bilingual sentences even the target sentences alone.
Maybe it is more rewarding to read a good book in your target language and use this "sentence method" with books you have interest in. Maybe recording your own voice as your read and shadow the book. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Looks very interesting slucido. I don't think he learned Mandarin this way, at least not at the beginning. He had a
really impressive post on his Mandarin method somewhere in this forum. Anyway, I hope someone here will try some of this stuff and tell us if it works for them. Edit: This was what I was talking about. An excellent post, but it turns out to be about time spent to learn the language. So maybe he was using this method, although he said he was spending a lot of time with private tutors. Edited by leosmith on 15 January 2011 at 2:19am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Found the video interesting when he posted it and have thought of trying it out.

It caught my eye (or ears, rather) too. While his pronuciation is much, much better than that of an average English speaker, I listened to some of his Russian videos and there are clearly some things which need improvement. It makes me question the usefulness of listening your own version of the language over and over again instead of listening to that of the native speaker. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I am sure if the very same sentence pairs were available from a native speaker, people (including Glossika) would be happy to use them. The problem, though, is that most bilingual sentence lists are only available on paper - and it takes many hours to make audio for them. So, it isn't really something you can reasonably expect a friend to do for you, or (unless you are rich) pay somebody to do. Anyway, the purpose of the audio sentences method is to absorb meaning not pronunciation. The argument that minor mistakes in pronunciation are impossible to correct later is simply nonsense. Overall, the audio sentences method is, at least in my experience, an excellent way of throwing a lot of sentences at your ears very quickly and very often. It is really fast-paced brain-training.
