Ah, I thought you meant the stuff in the JCP folder as you mentioned !0 Japanese What’s to learn BEGIN HERE.doc.

As to L-R, the only thing worth calling a method is one's own method.
I can definitely call L-R 'a method' because it works for me. No idea if you can call it 'a method.'

There are some rather extreme pre-conditions for L-R to work properly.
1. burning desire to learn
2. you must love what you're doing
3. you must be a fast enough reader
4. you must be a good listener, you need some sound/phonetic training both in L1 and L2
5. you must be able to concentrate for a long time
6. you must be a good learner in general
7. you must be able to process a huge amount of info almost on the fly
8. a regular lifestyle – early to bed, early to rise...
9. very good language skills in L1
10. being intelligent enough is not enough
11. you must know first-hand or rather first-soul what GOOD literature is all about

Technically speaking, you need long books you love and are extremely familiar with in languages you already know.
You need good quality audio + parallel L2-L1 etexts and a good mouse-over pop-up dictionary.
(L2 - the language you're learning, L1 - your mother tongue)

Then again: the most important things happen in your head.

I wish you the best of British.
