I've done some L-R with the Little Prince in both French and Spanish. Is it advised to repeat previously covered material, or should you move on, and always cover new stuff ? Sorry, if I missed this answer elsewhere.

Rule of thumb: repeat 2-3 times. Another rule of thumb: once you're comfortable with about 70% of it, move on. I'm typing these both from memory; corrections welcome. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yes, repeating 2-3 times is how I (too) interpreted some of the posts in the original thread. Whether it's best to use an English translation or to go straight to an interlinear text is probably optional, but I don't think it does any harm in using the translation.
To DaraghM: if your chosen content is rich enough you could probably benefit from repeating just that over and over (similar to what ProfArguelles does with Assimil, albeit with another approach), instead of moving on. However, everyone is different, and to my knowledge there isn't any set "standard" what you should be able to to after 10/20/40 hours of L-R. Assume that we all "like books", and use exactly the same content (as experiment), I am still pretty sure that the result would vary a lot.

I am finding it slightly frustrating that I want to try this method but am unable to get any audiobooks and books in Hebrew to do so. I had the idea of doing it many years ago when I came across an audiobook of one of Dan Browns earlier books in German. (Something to do with computers)
I thought to myself, if I have the audio and am going to listen to it, why not follow it along while doing so. Is this similar to this L+R method? Unfortunately I moved house and could not continue with the method and only did it for the first chapter. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

How long are the fragments that you repeat? Repeating long sentences or even paragraphs is quite a hassle using WinAmp; I find it difficult to rewind back to the exact start of the sentence and going through it again. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The "fragments" are the complete book, generally 2-18+ hours of audio. I agree that rewinding specific sentences is a hassle. When I want to specifically repeat a sentence, I tend to extract it with audacity and loop it. I haven't used that with L-R, but I have with Assimil. 1 person has voted this message useful |
