Spanish via German



I few weeks into the programme, I'm finding that Spanish is not so manageable as I thought. I feel the need to prepare by reminding myself of the story (Harry Potter #1). But instead of pre-reading the English text, why not do it in German? That, after all, is how a German following my system would go about acquiring Spanish.

My German is at the level where this works. In fact, as I improve in them and reach a certain level of familiarity, I ought to be able to use any language to leapfrog up to the next. That way I practice double the number.

[By March, I'm able to dispense with the 'leapfrog' as far as Spanish is concerned.]
