If I wanted to get the best experience it would be following along in a book with audio.

I say every word basically with my inner voice while reading, so having someone else do that for me is brain power I do not have to use.

I took a lot of art classes, I can draw with a reference photo.

It is difficult for me to recall faces for example but if i reduce a face to geometric shapes and proportions and do a lot of trial and error so i can approximate a face I’ve seen.

Same I cannot see a person’s face in my mind but I can think of their face in proportions. I would have to do a ton of sketches to get basically sketch a reference photo, then I could work on making it better from there.
