I agree. It seems that if we keep moving our tongue, we will retain more even if our pronunciation is not very good. Using phrasebooks with pronunciation transcription seems useful. Other trick is to OCR the sentences and to use a TTS software to be sure about your pronunciation. By the way, being an advanced learner, reduces mispronunciations. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Sure, same pairs are not available with audio, but there is no lack of audio for Russian in general. Why not recite news clips or podcasts, for that matter? Take a recording of morning news and recite all day long. Should give real enough vocabulary. I'm not critisizing him for doing what he does, because obviously it works for him at some level, just wondering why he chose that particular path that he did.
Who argued where? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

He explains in the video that his approach to learning languages is very conversational. It makes sense he uses this kind of sentence method with huge phrasebooks (5,000 to 20,000 phrases)as main resource. I think it is possible to use this approach with news transcriptions, sitcom scripts, books and so on. If we like literature, I think it's possible to use a paralell text and to read aloud L1 and L2 alternatively.

That's a rather tautologous statement -- any pronunciation mistake that is impossible to correct later would fall into the category of a major mistake, if you ask me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

For the same reason many language courses exist, rather than just telling people to listen and repeat radio shows. Lists of sentence pairs usually have a specific focus. For example, sentences relating to business meetings ("If we now turn to the agenda ...", "We can bring this meeting to a close.", etc) and cram a lot of relevant vocabulary and sentence structure into them. By creating several such lists, you then cover several areas. In effect, it is like a giant audio phrase book. The process is certainly very intensive (this stuff tends not to work as "background listening"), and can certainly be followed up with lots of more extensive listening (radio, TV, etc). 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

It is interesting that Glossika speed up the audio every time he listens to it. I have been doing this with my L2 audios (sitcoms, radio, audiobooks) . I use Audacity. It is a way to make the most of my time. If I understand 100% an audio, I seed up it. It means same input in less time. It's a good idea.

A good way to get exposure to thousands of sentences is to read books in the target
language. Quick, easy, cheap, and limitless. 4 persons have voted this message useful |
