Well, they do both start with input. Just one begins with output as well. All you should do is what works best for you. I say experiment a little with both.

I see… it just seems a stretch when they’re approaching the same task from completely different starting points. I’m not sure how to mix and match that.

This all sounds good, or rather did because I’ve missed the boat on this offer, except for this point that I read on the Language Hacking Guide site:
“The Language Hacking Guide explains exactly what you need to do to speak a language quickly.Rather than read through the guide to find out my one major ‘secret’, I can tell you right now. You need to speak the language from day one.”
Does that not conflict with the AJATT dictum of input before output? Not speaking before being ‘ready’?
Having been ‘studying’ for over a year now and currently floundering around tediously with kanjis in SRS every day (I’m into RTK3, but I’ve drawn it out so long it’s all getting boring) I’m keen to give it a big push now and make some real progress, but this potential contradiction is confusing me a bit…

Yes, Khatz and Benny either had to become friends or kill each other Highlander style. I’m glad they chose the former for all our language learner sakes.
