Here are the main ideas of the method.
At the beginning of the training you create a matrix of 9 dialogues, lasting 1–1.5 minutes.
Dialogues are "live", taken from everyday speech.
It's a "grid" of dialogs with dimension 3x3.
A student has to listen to a dialogue, then declaim it loudly every day for 4 weeks (listen to a dialogue for 2 weeks, then declaim it for 2 weeks).
This is the starting base.
Having this base lets you understand 20-30% of the foreign speech.
Then you enlarge the number of dialogs to 25 (5x5 grid) or 36 (6x6 grid).
This covers approximately 60 percent of the foreign language. You will be able to speak and communicate fluently after completing this stage.
That is how you create the base matrix.

The pros of the method:
1.You study language naturally.
2.You don't need a teacher.
3.You can do it anywhere.

The cons of the method:
1.You have to listen to the same dialog for 3 hours at least 7 days.
2.Matrix method is only for the initial stage of learning English. After the initial stage you should read English books, listen to audio and video content, practice English with a language partner.
3.Matrix method doesn't teach you grammar.
