Actually the older Assimil tapes ProfArguelles talks of are recorded by proffesional actors and the converstations are of good quality. Also ProfArguelles talks of editing the tapes so they are only in the target language and also where there is little break in between. ProfArguelles also listens a lot with his method and gets a lot of exposure as well. I think the methods are very similar in many ways except that: L-R is cheaper L-R uses literature and ProfArguelles has used Conversations and their parallel texts.(Assimil) L-R give you more exposure to all verbs including literary types of verbs such as floundered or teetered where the other method will give you exposure verbs that are used commonly in speaking and writing. Also ProfArguelles starts speaking very soon, which may not be for everyone as atamagaii frequently warns and I believe too.

To compare Assimil to a novel, or Assimil recordings to Jeremy Irons reading Lolita...

Exactly, my point, it depends on what you like better apples or oranges, literature or conversation. I like both. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

There are people who like cucumbers, I prefer the gardener's daughter. Back to the topic: TIME Time is life. (until we enter the realm of timelessness). If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run Rudyard Kipling Have you lived one million hours? 24x30=720 x12=8640 x10=86400 Sleep: school: television, computer games, etc: Killing time is not so much murder as suicide.

For step 3, do you have to slow your reading down to match what you think you hear, or just read at your normal pace, which for me is at least a few paragraphs ahead, <though spoken French (I'm L-Ring L'etranger now) is quite fast, faster than English anyway>?

Also, for step 2, I don't really understand the purpose that you have stated. To separate the sounds into individual words when I do step 3 later?

What a curious question! I keep getting it time and again. I'd solw down to match, and listen to the same fragment a few times, if necessary. Step 3 does not make much sense if you don't understand what you're hearing. Books for beginners should be translated word-for-word, I made it clear in my first post, and then repeated it many a time. If they are not translated word-for-word, it is still possible to do Step 3, but it would require much more effort and experience in learning foreign languages. Let me stress once more: L-R is not a mechanical process, it is not a magic wand, it takes LOVE and BRAINS and it requires all your powers of concentration for a very long time. If you are not able to do it, you have to train yourself. L-R is not for tinkering polygots playing with the idea of becoming a Ziad Fazah and changing their language every other day. It's meant for literature lovers. If you love what you're doing, you never get tired nor bored, you want more and more of it.
