I realize I’m a big late to the game for this post originally made back in August, but I have a specific question about something you said in the Chinese language book review portion (around the 25/26-minute mark). You talk about wanting to train recognition and not necessarily comprehension and that you believe the English word/phrase should come before the language you are learning.

I am a Thai language learner and would someday soon like to publish a book on Thai language. I’m very interested in getting more information on the research – or just your expanded opinion – on why you think the English should come first. I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you at all, but the information would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment! I will assume that it has, but the publisher makes final cuts. It will certainly be clear when the book comes out on Dec 15th. I hope you’re in it.

All the best,

Tim

I wasn’t aware of Y-Combinator until you mentioned in this post, I just put in my application! This will be interesting, fingers crossed!

Lastly, I wrote to you regarding a call out you made about interesting things people have done with the knowledge from the first book – and I received the following response: ‘ You’ll Be Featured in the Next 4-Hour Workweek!’ – I signed my waiver and received a follow up that it had been received – however I haven’t heard anything since? Did it make the cut?

Keep up the good work!

Cheers
Matt
