Concept: Chinese by the Nature Method
Today I worked on seeing if a Chinese by the Nature Method type of textbook could be made, I used the English by the Nature Method textbook, and added Hanzi and pinyin. Ideally I would change names, add a younger brother too so that I could use didi, and I would to put a Chinese/English vocabulary list at the end of each chapter for reference. I think this kind of format would emulate The Nature Method textbooks best if: the first time a new word is shown, there is an English translation for the word in the sentence, but then afterward there is no English translation above the word for the rest of the book (you must go to the vocabulary list to check). However, for initial formatting, and to explain some grammar, I decided to just include the English translation for the whole sentence. Maybe I could make the exercise sections have no English translations...
Please tell me thoughts, if you're into the idea of a nature method type textbook for Chinese.
The First (1st) Chapter.

My landlord is texting me about rent and the water bill going up. I'm begging for immediate help. Anyone who can please. I'm just desperate. I'm so desperate I'm afraid of what I'm willing to do to make the pressure on my end. I'm going to act on it but I'm having extremely dark thoughts triggered by the stress of my birthday, losing a tooth this morning, my mom passing, the anniversary of my miscarriage and a stalker who's mad my life hell re-emerging.

Cosplay of zhang qiling张起灵 (nickname xiaoge小哥) from dao mu bi ji 盗墓笔记 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles by xu lei, one of the most beloved characters (paper people) in chinese fandoms (the coser is 小杰), and the book was written in 2006 and isn't finished yet and is still being serialized. Chinese fans voted for "which character from books you consider that won't affect your feelings and impression of her/him/them at all, no matter how badly the movie or TV version fails" and "The character that most convinced you they were real", and zhang qiling won the first place. Many book fans think the only successful live-action zhang qiling is cast by xiao yuliang肖宇梁 in Ultimate Note终极笔记.
mianhuawawa (popular chinese fandom merch, cute fluffy dolls having a real-life sense of companionship) of zhang qiling (cr: 支仓没睡)
A navy blue hoodie, black pants, boots, an ancient chinese dao, and a qilin麒麟 tattoo have become his trademark.
