Rewatching the same show? Man oh man, kids take this to an extreme level. Just finish watching X, lets watch it again, then again and lets do this daily for a month. BUT they aren't bored with it. So as Matt says, if you are not bored, then rewatching is good.
Same as me, I love rewatching the same show over and over again. My English level is all thanks to Dexter, my favorite show, which I have watched seven times in a row
@@DelightfulLittleFreak Brazilian at work told me she watches all seasons of friends at least once a year sometimes 2 or 3 times in a year. Her English is very good.
I’m at about 1000 hours of Spanish and Pablo’s chart is pretty accurate with my experience… I don’t think he claims native level speaking ability, but comprehension only. It’s more complicated than the person asking the question suggests.
That's what I do, I have this rule that I put which is "Read, then Listen while reading again to the same material" I am in my 4th month in learning Japanese on a daily basis and I have never read anything without listening to the same text that I've just read
I agree. The process is slow and I’m not sure if I would change anything I’ve been doing either. I’m almost to year 3 and trusting the process has been the most significant point for me. Consistency in just doing anything productive. Great video here 🎉
i got a question, for example someone who is acquiring a language from scratch, is gonna be able to reach native-like fluency and comprehension of the target language the same way as a native speaker? i mean obviusly it's gonna take a long time but is it possible to reach a perfect comprehension of the language? at a level where you can hear words that you don't even know the meaning of it and still know what he/she said? hope you get the idea that i want to express
54:40 Is _exactly_ my reaction when these so-called language experts parrot out these BS claims about how much input is needed. This is why proponents of 'early output', and all the casuals who've apparently 'tried' the input method, dismiss it, because they grossly, in the grossest of ways, severely underestimate just how much is required. I feel like these are the same people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect, they judge their level on the amount of fairly basic sentences they can produce, and of course, such a small amount of input won't give them what they're looking for.
39:50 Start speaking early and interact with natives. The most important and inspiring message so far IMO. Thank you Matt for such a sober view on a language learning.
That's not what he said. He said "earlier". He said he should have started speaking after reaching a level where he could understand everyday content like RU-vid and podcasts.
Does sentence/vocabulary mining exclusively from active intensive immersion is the way to go? In case of active free-flow immersion I tend to avoid creation of Anki cards at all costs and limit video pausing only to 1-3 times per episode. Does all of this align with Refold recommendations? Also in terms of immersion ratio, it's usually the following one: - active intensive immersion 30-40 min. - active free-flow immersion 90 min - 8 h. (it tends to be closer to the lower limit on weekdays and closer to the upper limit on weekends). - passive immersion 30-60 min What do you think about such time distribution? Additional context: I'm also doing WaniKani (for 1.5-2 hours a day, currently I'm at about level 29 with 950 kanji learned), grammar textbook study (1 hour a day on average). I've almost finished Genki II (actually these series of textbooks greatly increased my subtitle reading speed). I'm only planning then to cover Tae Kim Grammar Guide and as for grammar call it a day. In terms of overall time spent on Japanese it's something like: - learning hiragana and katakana in about a week on Tofugu (December 2021) - learning kanji and vocabulary on WaniKani (since December 2021) - learning grammar (since March 2022 and WaniKani level 11) - immersion (since the middle of July 2022): 302 h of active immersion + ???h of passive immersion. Regarding SRS limits, it's up to 15 new items on WaniKani and up to 10 new cards on Anki.
Do you have a video outlining the steps of the Refold method? I’ve looked at the website’s roadmap; it has a lot of detailed information - to help understand it, I’d like a macroview of the ideology If you don’t have a video on it, would you mind providing a brief outline in your response? I’d appreciate it Thank you
Hey there! We don't currently have a video but it's on our list of content to create soon. For an overview, there's this article: refold.la/roadmap/stage-0/a/roadmap-overview
