Hi Rebecca, There's rather more to this Method, I was doing this as a 9 year old, although I would first walk far enough along the beach, to minimize the strange looks. It helped me with my French and my confidence to face down the local bullies. It taught me where to be (very calmly) deliberately loud and clear in numerous & varied situations. One such notable benefit is to be able to project one's voice without electrical magnification to 3,000 attendees. Your photo shows the way Lin's students stand in line, just like Marines in training...... Think of the brainwashing cries of the drill sergeant being hollered in return.... More than Linguistics here, there is self education, self confidence, leadership, tranquility too, And, the - perception - of - dangers, internal and external. Peace, Maurice
