I happened to look at Te Rangatahi (Book 1) today. I was happily surprised to see that I understood everything in the first chapter. I looked at the final few pages too, and ascertained that I knew most of that content too.
So my method works at least as well as a textbook!
But oh, how tedious and boring that first chapter is, jam-packed as it is with pronouns and family relationships! Its guiding principle must be that it is necessary to drill grammar points in force so they stick. That is certainly not necessary.
Still, I'll skim through the book just to see where my gaps are.
