I feel a Bill Hicks moment coming on...
Respect for Luca he's a good and intelligent polyglot and has a lot of knowledge.
by the way, if you want to whizz past the sales letter it's €199 for the course.

Pedantry is properly the over-rating of any kind of knowledge we pretend to.

Re: Lampariello announces a new bidirectional tr. course for beginners
I've heard him say before that bidirectional translation is his go-to approach, at least for the first stage of a language. Though I also remember him saying he felt like it didn't work that well for Japanese because it was just too distant.

Re: Lampariello announces a new bidirectional tr. course for beginners
I'm happy to see he's starting to publish videos in Spanish too. I feel less guilty
This one has a screenshot reference to a BiDirectional schedule shortly after 5:30, but doesn't unveil the course:

Oh, the famous bi-directional method!
In Russia we call it каша из топора (porridge from an axe)

The link wouldn't let me read, but I searched for 'porridge from an axe'. I see it is like 'soup from a nail' and 'soup from a sausage peg'. There's also 'soup from a stone'.
Is the Russian the original? Could be.

I have no idea about the origin of the folktale but the Russian version is the following:
«Каша из топора» is the title of a fairy tale where a soldier, coming home from war, stops by a cottage and asks its miserly inhabitants for food. The old lady maintains that they have none so the soldier offers to make porridge for them using only an axe. While it is ‘cooking’ and the water is boiling away, he gradually asks for salt, then oats, then butter, and naturally ends up with porridge, but the old lady is still certain that the sole ingredient was the axe.

Re: Lampariello announces a new bidirectional tr. course for beginners
This used to be a very useful folktale site which was hacked before Covid and hasn't been fully restored in the meantime. It did include versions in multiple languages for some tales. Here is the link if anyone wants to join me in periodically checking to see if the site has been fully restored:
https://sites.ualberta.ca/~urban/Projec ... _Tales.htm
Stone Soup/Nail soup/Ax Kasha/etc is type 1548. Someone who has access to academic databases could possibly uncover which version predates the others.
