However, I'm wondering if you have any advice on applying the method to self-teaching, since I imagine that finding a teacher who uses this method, or even a teacher who teaches pronunciation well, is nearly impossible. Would you just take some recordings of naturally-spoken phrases (say from a TV series, or Assimil-type lessons although these are often quite unnatural and over-enunciated) and play them over and over to substitute for the teacher repeating phrases over and over? From what I gather, the main feedback mechanism in this method is the student hearing their own voice, as opposed to the teacher correcting them, so it seems relatively adaptable to self-study.


Olle Kjellin has previous described how to do this, as well as the drawbacks.
