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!

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.

To all of our edgerunners, solos, rockers, techies, fixers, nomads, cyberpunks and high tech low life citizens of the world, weclome to DATATERM!

It's quite difficult to catch up with various question threads on DATATERM at the moment so I would like to open this thread for our community members who are new to DATATERM and the fediverse/threadiverse who may have a question relating to the community or how things work around here.

If you have already created a thread that we have missed, feel free to link to it in here as well.

One of the admins or a user should be able to come and help you! We'll try and answer your questions to the best of our ability.

Please note that the platform (Lemmy) is in it's early stages and some information may become out of date over time. We will be adding to this thread over time!

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.

Reddit is inaccessible to blind users without third party apps and this is a part of the protest-blackout #disability #reddit #blind #accessibility

@meredithw@wandering.shop

(It wouldn't let me repost it here so I've copied it over. Disabled users may not want to move to Lemmy because I notice a lack of ALT text for images here too.

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.

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.

My sympathies to you, (not that you need it but) it sounds like a really rough time! I don't know if I'd have the energy to deal with adult tantrums when I have a migraine so I completely understand and don't blame you for taking time for yourself now that you can.

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.

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.

Hi everyone, I've opened up an unofficial refold community on my home instance.

Refold is a method which consists of using immersion for language learning and language acquisition. It can be used with many other methods.

If you're curious about it, i'd love if you'd come and check it out because it's a ghost town right now. I'm connect with other language communities too.

If things pick up I may look for another mod or two. Thanks!

Here's the link: https://dataterm.digital/c/refold

We're not the police so no worries! Have fun! :D

Hey there @neurocyde@dataterm.digital , it's a very exicitng time and we're sharing this excitement with you! It's so great to find more high-tech low-life people to hang with!

In addition to what Revengeday has said, regarding your question of which jurisdiction, we ask that folks atleast stick within the laws of Germany at the very least. We're an international community though so you might want to be wary of your own local laws too.

We've gotten along with people from other federated communities in the past and in the present, we hope this will continue with the idea of mutual respect in mind! If you see anything that you think is against the rules or bothers you because you think it might be breaking the rules, just send a report over to us.

The biggest unofficial rule is have fun and explore! (And if you find something cool, share it with the rest of us!)

[-] LevelUp@dataterm.digital 5 points 2 years ago

Welcome to DATATERM, I saw a little bit about VA-11-Hall-A floating around lemmy, I think it was from you. Whatever you can share I'd love to see it! I think it will take time because this place is very new but I get that hesitant feeling too. I've followed the community so I can learn more about the game.

The fediverse can be a bit mind bending at first and it comes with it's own quirks that's for sure. Thanks for taking a moment to share your thoughts with us!

[-] LevelUp@dataterm.digital 4 points 2 years ago

It's only a matter of time before Lemmy gets hit with a bot problem so I do understand why there'd be concern about open sign ups on those large instances in addition to trolls. So far I've seen a lot of nice things from lemmy.world but that's not to say there isn't bad actors out there.

[-] LevelUp@dataterm.digital 3 points 2 years ago

I'm really hoping so. Currently we're free of ads and algorithms. I really hope that what has happened with reddit prompts some people enough to stay here for a while longer because then we're more likely to have regular creators.

You're right there to be honest, it feels like bringing back a modern twist on tradition brought in a breath of fresh air and I'm loving it.

[-] LevelUp@dataterm.digital 4 points 2 years ago

When I saw this, I felt an icky feeling because there was someone trying to talk about how this would all be good on the blockchain and how it might work on the blockchain. I wish they would leave the blockchain out of it.

This is my favourite web sequel so far though. Thanks for making it happen @felsqualle@dataterm.digital !

The closest I've gotten to hair horror stories is trying to cut my own hair and getting the scissors tangled in them. I had to get another pair of sissors to cut them out.

Your poor wife! Maybe a nice hat, headscarf or a lacefront wig might work for her. The latter tends to look quite nice and natural when applied correctly. Her scalp might be a little bit sensitive to all of the sun we're having so beware!

[-] LevelUp@dataterm.digital 11 points 2 years ago

In addition to this on mastodon (and *key instances) you can use hashtags can be used to follow and join in on topics you wish to post about. I find that people on the fediverse tend to be a lot more responsive when you talk to them in regards to something they have posted.

[-] LevelUp@dataterm.digital 5 points 2 years ago

This is lovely, hi there! :D I'm trying not to melt in warm weather. Thanks for setting this place up!

This is fantastic. I've really been struggling to find some other trans guys and transmasc folks on the fediverse. :D
