Just did the listening-reading method properly:

As in I did step 3. (I did step 1 recently. I did a partial step 2 recently. I’ll go back and do step 2 which is L2-R2 sometime tomorrow and see if that adds any benefit, as far as picking up more words easily. But I already had the sounds to text down well as far as following along - it’s just picking up new words that I’m aiming for).

I did it with Silent Reading by Priest. With a great English translation that dropped, and the audiobook on ximalaya.

I do think it could work for chinese. It is abundantly clear how much a few things Should be true for this method to work:

1. Familiarity with source material (and fondness). I have only read this chapter twice in my life, once recently. But I’m fond of it so it was MUCH EASIER to skim ahead and match up what I was listening to, to where it lined up to the rough text paragraph. So I could keep “seeing phrase and word definitions” easily as needed. It helped listening comprehension I think, which was the point. It also freed up my attention - since I barely had to focus on the text, primarily just listening to words and “matching” them to known words or what I noticed their definition was.

2. GOOD MATERIALS THAT MATCH as in a translation, (original if possible), and audio, that roughly cover the same stuff. This attempt at l-r method was SO MUCH EASIER because almost every Chinese audio line matched up in line with the english, only differences were grammar order (which I’m comfortable with in chinese). So it was very easy for me to skim the English and easily focus mostly on the audio, and still follow along without trouble. In contrast, Daomubiji 1 had two audio recordings I found, and one skipped several paragraphs suddenly in the middle of chapter 1. I literally couldn’t do l-r cause I tried THREE TIMES to do step 3, WITH A PARALLEL TEXT, and still could not figure out where the audio had suddenly skipped to. This literally made all the difference! If I hit difficulty doing l-r in the future I should just try switching for a book with better material and see if it’s easier.

Just the simple fact of the audio more closely matching the text this time... helped SO MUCH. It was much easier to look for proper nouns and dialogue to figure out what paragraph I was on, since the audio aligned well with the text. It was a tiny bit different (one or two lines of dialogue were ordered differently in the Audio or worded slightly differently). But it was overall the way I think the l-r method is intended for. It made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in how easy this method is. I actually felt I was learning this time, hearing some phrases better, picking up some new words. Whereas when I tried with dmbj chapter 1, I lost my place so easily I was focusing on finding my place too much to focus much on the actual audio to meaning matching. So I had to do it 3 times to attach any meaning at all. It felt like I was doing it CORRECTLY and easily this time.

3. Some middle beginner to low intermediate minimum skills in the language. I can usually catch at least half the words in an audio sentence - I just struggle to understand full sentences when listening to audiobooks on their own. So with a text in front of me (Chinese or English) if the audio matches decently with the text, I can pretty easily place where I’m at. If I knew less chinese this would be brutal. It might be so difficult that it makes the activity impossible. I’m not sure l-r method (at least the regular way I’m doing it, with full chapters at a time) would work for beginners. I’m around HSK 4, probably pushing into HSK 5 now. So that’s the level of comprehension I’m doing this at.

FINAL THOUGHTS: this would work AMAZING for Guardian. Avenuex’s audiobook I believe completely matches the web version of the novel. And I have the print version - which matches pretty well too. And the translation is based on the webnovel, with most cut out parts re-added. So the translation should match the audiobook pretty well. (And thé audio should match the chinese text near perfectly). And I already know I love Avenuex’s audiobook. I will be eager to see how much seeing English around the same time helps with picking up more audio comprehension from the audiobook. I understand usually just enough to “follow the gist” of the guardian audiobook on its own right know. With a text in front of me, I should be able to start picking out more details. So yeah, very excited!!

As of right now, I’ll keep doing it with Silent Reading for a while as long as the audio matches decently enough. If the audio stops matching, I have learned my lesson - if I keep getting hopelessly lost in the middle of a chapter because audio-text deviates too much, I’ll go to the next chapter instead. Or a new book. I do want Daomubiji to work out... so I’ll look into a few more options for that.
