If there's one person I would assume has plenty of copies of out-of-print language courses...

There's an old video of his where he goes over this approach in some detail. https://youtu.be/WbVdrw43QZUleosmith wrote:Beginning more than one language at a time is a bad idea imo, even more so if the languages are similar. I'll be interested in seeing how people do.
Piecing together that original video and the description of his bootcamp, I wonder if there will be follow-up with the other courses he recommended in that Spanish French Italian German video. For the talented and motivated student, perhaps they might get a good foothold in those 4 languages in about a year using his proposed methodology, coursework, and time commitment.Raconteur wrote:There's an old video of his where he goes over this approach in some detail. https://youtu.be/WbVdrw43QZU
I do understand the logic (and the appeal) for a select few. Will be curious to see how well the students can reproduce his technique/method.

Cainntear wrote:That said, I never studied very similar levels. I started French first, and Italian was catching up. Similarly, I started Spanish first, and then learned Gaelic on a very different path shortly after. If I was doing the same units of practically identical courses, I think I'd have got very, very confused.
