Sandwich stories ... A way to study vocabulary and reading

[Atréju]

You're welcome.

But are you willing to acquint yourself with sandwich stories, like you said?

It's easy to make such a story yourself, remember, if you know both languages. Though there are already some such stories available in Chinese, I gather.

You'd only need a couple of weeks to a few months to change a few books -- and a xerox machine, if you want to do it cheap-cheap -- you then can use the material as long as you like. If you're more ambitious you could try and get the books published, like I am planning to research the possibility of.

You might get the feeling I'm trying to influence you or pressure you into doing something you don't want, but I assure that that's all in your head.

Bump!

Imagine you would be working with this method in five years time, what do you think of it, and how can I improve it?

And any scholars out there interested in writing on such things as the importance of motivation, frequency, the importance of words, context, etc., in language learning? It does pay, but not much.
