And IT WORKED! (Surprisingly?)

In this video I share my experiment of watching the same content over and over again a (stupidly) high amount of times to learn languages.

From what I experienced, this method absolutely works. While it may seem as if you can't really learn that much from a single 20 minute anime episode, the amount I learned/the things I improved at, honestly felt pretty surprising. I feel like the true potential of this method is unleashed if you were to do the same thing, except for many other pieces of content as well, not just one episode.

The main benefit from this experiment I feel is the ability to recall a large amount of words and reference quotes with their pronunciation from the top of your head, very quickly, as the anime almost gets stuck in your head, like a song you've listened to way too many times.

If anyone is interested in the Anki deck I made, here it is: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1626168555

Its probably best if you make your own cards, but this serves as an example of how I made mine!

• Matt vs. Japan video on why you should learn Japanese from anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9ND6uw6-QA
• Dogen's video where he mentions listening to the same movie over and over again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXt_h2--WM

Someone on the Refold course pointed out to me that the challenge to watch something 50 times was probably inspired by Livakivi so here's the video. Somehow this is a video that I'd missed. I'm currently trying something 10 times, I don't think I'd have the mental fortitude to do it more than that but we'll see.

Edit: This is on the extreme end of things and not something recommended by the official roadmap, atleast not this amount of reviewing.

Getting started

To do this properly, you need to understand how those websites work.

For the shake of simplicity fellow "pirates", they utilize m3u wiki link

• m3u8 99% of the time.

You will also need yt-dlp install it if you don't have already

Example on utilizing this knowledge

• Go to your favorite streaming site
• Simple press F12
• Go to Network
• Select XHR (XMLHttpRequest)
• Filter URLs for m3u8
  • If you find more than one, just test them out, you will soon find the trick on your own :)
• Copy the URL
• Open a terminal and type yt-dlp <your-copied-link>

Do it Ethically

Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool

But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don't share it with others

Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.

Share your own tips & tricks in the comments if you want!

For educational purposes.

So is there anything we can do to amplify things get this message across to Reddit?)

This seems like overkill to me, but Lamont is speaking very highly of this method. I personally rewatch movies extremely rarely, and the number of movies that I have seen more than once is very small, so the idea of watching one movie 50 times is rather nauseating.

I do, however, concur that re-consuming A/V media in an L2 is beneficial to me, as I noticed that I tend to struggle with correctly interpreting grammar the first time around.

50 times sounds quite nauseating to me too. Having watched his original Spanish livestreams I'm quite impressed. I might give it a go, though I think my limit would be 10 times before moving onto something new. I guess I could probably do Shrek or something for the memez, I watched the crap out of Shrek 2 when I was younger.

I recently revisited some episodes of La Casa de Las Flores and understood almost everything, it felt like magic. This was after intensively studying almost every episode of season one and revisiting the first episodes.

I think it would take me longer to study a whole movie, a few sittings at a time but once I've gone through it once I'd probably be okay to watch another 9 times. I might consider it as a small challenge, i have about 1600 hours to fill so doing something like this wouldn't be the worst, it might not be the best. If I try it atleast once, I may see if it's worth it or not.

The Manchester Day Parade is normally held around June, often clashing with Father's day but I haven't seen many updates on their website about it.

Do you think that there going to be a Manchester Day event this year? Website: https://manchesterday.co.uk/

Glossika offers free online language learning for languages like #kurdish, #welsh and #catala.

It's a bit different from Duolingo, and the sentence choices and "at speed" audio listening comprehension exercises are very good.

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

It's happening.

Soon the flood of John Oliver pics will come! (I wasn't sure where to post this but it's related to recent happenings so enjoy!)

We're an international network with a sizeable German population. Content is posted in German and English so this place is probably one of the best places to learn!

I'd like to see if anyone would be interested in helping a moderate a community for the purpose of learning german because there's only so much I could moderate alone.

I'd like to have one person who is learning German and atleast one native speaker who is willing to give a hand every now and again.

You don't have to be a linguistic expert to help out, you just have to be familiar with the rules. The rules can be found here: https://dataterm.digital/legal

Any help would be appreciated. This is a hypothetical situation for now but if it's something that the community would be willing to help with, it might be quite nice.

Thanks for reading!

The German community I have made is exactly what the title says: A place for people learning German and German speakers to discuss the language.

If you are learning German and have any grammar questions, pronunciation questions, etc. this is the place to ask.

If you simply want to share your journey of learning German, this community is also the right place to do it.

Anything related to the German language belongs in this community. Feel free to join it, though note I am quite an inexperienced moderator as of now.
