Reading comes first. Before listening, in fact. That’s what I’ve concluded. At least, for myself.

I’m a visual learner and person. I need something to latch onto. Something I can look over and ‘visualize’. And so, I need the written text on which to overlay the spoken.

Which brings me back to Schliemann. His ‘Heinrich Maneuver’. He had it right originally. That’s the way to gain a foothold.

So I’m still at the stage of experimenting. The principles are there, for sure, but things are not nailed tightly down by any means yet. There’s still a good ways to go.
