Ben's language journey with Czech began a little over 50 days ago with a goal, a plan, and a post-it note he wrote it all down on.
The goal? To become fluent in 2 years.
The plan? Well, he goes over that in this video.
The post-it-note? Illegible
Long story short, Ben's goal is to spend ~1.5k hours of Czech in 2 years time, and then take a trip to the Czech Republic. He'll be documenting his progress along the way as he learns the language, so stay tuned.

"There's no real reason" finally someone who gets me

@Refold Год назад

The first time someone asked me why, I was like.... uhhhhh.... that's a really good question! Lemme get back to you on that

@jackiew6598 Год назад

I love the "Fluent in Two Years" variation on the "Fluent in Three Months" slogan. Good luck on your Czech journey. Looking forward to hearing more about it.

I'm on the cohort that's coming to an end soon and I've got to say, it's been fantastic. There've been some updates to the roadmap that I hadn't even realised and now immersion is not so scary. Ben keeps things light and fun, he's a very personable guy and it's nice to know he's on a similar journey to us. He shows up everyday with the same great energy, thanks for all of your hard work, Ben. I'm not sponsored but I do want to take the time to say that I would have been a bit lost without help from Refold, now everything is so much fun. You also get to playback the videos from the sessions incase you can't make it. I'm a big fan of this method and now I feel like I get it. Thanks again.

It's been amazing having you all! I really love being able to see such an awesome group of learners each day. Thank you so much for your kind words, they help me want to do this more and more and more. - Ben

This is going to be a great series. Milk away.

@jimmorrison2657 Год назад

People always ask me the same thing, why are you learning Greek? Good luck with it.

@jimmorrison2657 Год назад

One thing, you didn't really mention how good you expect to be after two years. Maybe that's because you don't want to have to live up to certain expectations, but I think it would be interesting to see if you achieve what you expected. I am sure that if you stick to your plan, you will have high level.

@AndrisGameDev Год назад

I'm happy to see this as I was always interested to see someone documenting the whole refold method in practice - live!

@vendingservices8900 Месяц назад

I don’t think I will ever focus on intentionally learning for more than 2 hours per day

@JayeSunsurn Год назад

Looking forward to hearing about your progress over time... what worked for your routine and what didn't. Also what actually was effective for your learning that surprised you.

@TheRubenDK Год назад

Good luck Ben! And I hope you enjoy it. I've been learning Polish for about a year, so it's nice to see you learning a slavic language.

Jak tam Polski po kolejnych dziewięciu miesiącach?

@TheRubenDK 5 месяцев назад

@@igat1983 Coraz lepiej w ogóle. W ciągu pierwszy rok, korzystałem raczej nudne materiałe dla początkujących, a teraz jestem w stanie oglądać filmy oraz słuchać podkasty. Byłem u teściowie na świąt, i tam byłem w stanie komunikować z nimi choć jeszcze prawie nie rozmawiałem z nikim po polsku. Uważam że wciąż mam słabą gramatykę - cały czas jestem niepewny jakie końcówki są poprawne. Dziękuje za interes :)

@igat1983 5 месяцев назад

@@TheRubenDK To co piszesz jest komunikatywne. Choc owszem ma błędy gramatyczne, ale końcówki są po polsku bardzo trudne. Ja uczę się kazachskiego i mam podobny problem z końcówkami :) Jak na rok nauki, to powyższy paragraf jest bardzo dobry. Tak trzymaj!

@AltoPianistaOnline Год назад

That's a sound plan, Ben! 🤓🙌🏼 Congrats 🎉. You're bound to be successful! ✨✨

@Shibby27ify Год назад

I'm interested how you're learning Czech, a language that doesn't seem to be popular enough to have a refold or refold like Anki deck or much in the way of comprehensible input like Dreaming Spanish. It's cool to see being creative with Refold when there's less onramp content available.

@SzczeryPoliglota Год назад

Well-planned. Good luck with everything. You will make it.

@DustinUnderwoodMKE Год назад

I'm loving all these new videos! I keep retooling my roadmap and schedule as these come out and am extremely excited to benchmark my progress on my monthly work trips to Japan! Also, taking the Ultimate Immersion course has been really good. I was hoping to just have a framework to force myself to consider and process the Refold roadmap, but the content has gone beyond my expectations.

@pavel2046 Год назад

Hello, how many languages you know? German, eng, spanish and? Do you have inst?

@Refold 11 месяцев назад

I only speak English and Spanish to high levels. I passed a B2 exam in German several years ago, but I haven't used it in years and don't think I could use it anymore. And I'm studying Czech right now. I personally don't have an Instagram, but you can follow Refold here: instagram.com/refoldla - Ben

@paulwalther5237 Год назад

Good luck learning your third language. I’m curious if you’ll find it more difficult than your second one. I think it can be harder because now you have to make time for the third one and there’s only so much time.

@Refold Год назад

We're actually testing time travel technology to allow users to immerse for 27 hours per day... In seriousness, though, I am also interested to see what it's like. Luckily, I live in a Spanish-speaking country, work in English and learn Czech, so that means that I naturally will get all three at a baseline. - Ben

@FellowHuman18 11 месяцев назад

Where are you getting your Anki deck? Or how are you making it? Will it have audio?

@danielkelly8931 Год назад

How do you intend to do an hour of output a day? I.e. the apps, methods, etc that you plan to use.

@FellowHuman18 10 месяцев назад

I know you aren't doing speaking practice for a long time, but how often do you practice pronunciation? Do you speak to yourself at all? Or are you 100% listening and reading until you get to 1000 hours?

@Refold 10 месяцев назад

I wouldn't say that I "practice" pronunciation, but I did some initial study of the phonology and sounds of the language to give myself passing knowledge. The only time I say Czech words is occasionally when I'm doing Anki, I'll say the words aloud. But that's really it. I've never tried to form a sentence or thought in Czech. I'll start training that at 1000 hours. - Ben

@amstabomitdembabo5984 Год назад

Interesting choice and quite an ambitious plan. I've been learning Polish for two years mainly through immersion (roughly 80% listening to 20% of reading) and it has gone quite well so far. I waited one year until I started with weekly output and I still feel that I get more from input, BUT getting used to the insane case patterns in Slavic languages imo benefits considerably from some deliberate practice. Polish is my sixth language and by far the most difficult I've learned.

@SzczeryPoliglota Год назад

Powodzenia ze wszystkim ;)

@igat1983 6 месяцев назад

Cieszmy mnie fakt, że ludzie uczą się mojego ojczystego języka. Tak, jest on trudny czasem nawet i dla Polaków :') Powodzenia! Ja szukam skutecznej ścieżki do nauki kazachskiego.
