Hybrid Input: Learn languages by simultaneously reading and listening [The Migaku Bible: Method]

Hybrid input involves reading sentences in another language while simultaneously hearing those same sentences being spoken—for example, via reading the subtitles to a show or reading a book while simultaneously listening to an audiobook cover of it. Hybrid input is awesome in that it gives you the advantages of reading (your text is visible) and listening (you get to hear native speakers) simultaneously. It's only real downside is that, if your abilities are very lopsided, you'll likely lean on your stronger skill and neglect your weaker one. For best results, you should find a balance that works for you between all three input modalities: - Extensive input → Try to consume as much content as possible within a period of time; try to avoid looking things up, - Intensive input → Extract all the learning opportunities possible from a piece of content; do whatever you need to do to make sense of it, - Hybrid input → Can be more or less intense, depending on your mood and energy level; this is great to do once you've finished your main immersion time for the day, With that out of the way, always remember: immerse, enjoy, and improve!
