But is extensive rather than intensive, so serves a different purpose.

It is much better if you LISTEN(unabridged audiobook) and READ ALOUD following the audio.

You get more repetitions in less time and you make the most of your time.

If anyone is interested in Mike's point of view about how to learn you should take a look at his entry in The Polyglot Project, I mean the book compiled by Claude Cartaginese
(YouTube: syzygycc ).

I read it, but I am not sure about Glossika's approach. I am watching his Youtube videos, but I am not sure.

It seems he recommends to start with prosody and pronunciation first.

If you want to use his sentence method, I think it is very important to start learning how to read aloud properly as soon as possible.

Me too, I saw the whole video and read the polyglot book and still didn't catch his method! Is it just pick bilingual phrasebooks, let's say English-German (if English is your native language) and start recording and after that start listening? And what can do absolute beginners?


Anyone could give the steps?

His method doesn't appeal to me because he had a terrible accent, he isn't a model of excellence;D

What accent are you talking about?

His Mandarin seems native. This is his stronger language and he learned Mandarin using this method.

I'm not a polyglot, I have been studying mandarin for 2 years without big results ;D , but of one thing I'm sure, his French, Italian and Spanish accent are atrocious. And these are simple languages...
