The twenty exposures probably only applies when its the ONLY word in a frase that you don't understand.

Watching El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera in spanish despite the original language of the show being english is quite an experience

English is not my first language and also not my second language, it is my third language... although they teach us English in schools here but I remember the time when I could not understand simple sentences when I watch cartoons and read novels.. now I want to learn French but I don't really remember how I learned English. it just happened!

An episode of Spongebob is ~10 minutes, and episode of Friends is ~20m. So then Spongebob is actually throwing you words faster than Friends is (assuming you havent already normalized for this)

Great video and idea! But it bugs me that you say these are the "top 30,000 German ngrams" because theyre not! Theyre the top 30,000 ngrams used by the EasyGerman channel, which isnt a representative sample of the language. I'm not great at German yet but I'm certain that "zum Beispiel" isnt the third most-common bigram in the entire language. I can definitely believe that EasyGerman use it a ton though!

2:36 hear a word 20 times in context to acquire it

Do you know if it works with Crunchyroll?

Love how concise yet digestible all of your videos are

Seeing many LingQ reviews recently too - looks like a very similar product

One problem with any subtitle-based language study: tv producers in any language make subtitles as essentially an edited version of the script, not at all a strict transcription of spoken dialog. So non-standard language may be standardized, long sentences may be shortened, and dialog-subtitle mismatches are often intentional. (There are also intentional errors, which doesn't help!) Even if you're watching English TV translated into your language, the dub will try to match lip shapes while the subtitles do not need to, leading to them not lining up. I've found this frustrating whenever I've tried tv language study. Subtitles definitely help, but they are more a parallel asset than a real guide to audio input. That said, tools like this can certainly be helpful, especially if your enjoyment of the content means you keep studying! Just expect these problems as part of the course.

I wanna start with Lingopie next year. I hope they will add polish and hebrew

I tried it, hoping to use it while watching Narcos, but this show is not supported -_- They even have a blog article referencing the show.

It's just constructive criticism, but please continue with the layout of the other videos. I had seen this thumbnail and didn't associate it with you so I didn't click to watch it before

This service seems amazing and I'd use it if it had my main target language on.

I looked into LingoPie. It has Brazilian Portuguese but not European Portuguese and there's just enough of a difference that I'm not convinced it'll help me learn European Portuguese. (The difference between them is bigger than, say, American English vs. British English, but nowhere near as big as between Mandarin and Cantonese.)

I tried the free trial out and if you don't have Netflix, don't even bother. It's garbage. If you have Netflix see if you need to pay money because there are alternatives, like extensions

I think you can achieve most of that + automatic Anki cards (based on your standards) using Yomitan + asbplayer. One thing it doesn't have is stoping video on hover, but other aspects are basically the same! Have you already tried it?

thanks for a helpful video! 🤍

The translations on Lingopie are preety poor, especially for Korean (which I’m learning) and Chinese (my native language). Some say this is because they use literal translations for learning purposes, but why not offer both literal and meaningful translations, like Language Reactor does? Additionally, there’s often no word breakdown, and words are only shown in their conjugated forms. This makes it hard to review effectively. What’s even more frustrating is that Lingopie sometimes limits the number of available episodes for a show, even if the show has more episodes, cutting you off at key moments. The content itself is also disappointing-mostly cartoons or low-quality soap operas, even for widely-studied languages like Spanish. As for the Netflix integration, you still need a separate Netflix subscription, and Lingopie only supports certain shows, which doesn’t seem like a benefit. In comparison, Language Reactor allows you to watch all Netflix shows and RUclips videos with better subtitle options, plus AI tools for idiom and grammar breakdown. If you’re already paying for Netflix, there’s no need for Lingopie’s limited offerings. In short, Lingopie feels like a more expensive, fancier but less effective version of Language Reactor. I regret my yearly subscription-it’s been ten months, and I have barely used it. I feel misled by the hype around it. While Lingopie excels in advertising, it has a long way to go to in my opinion, given that there are options like Language reactor and migaku, which cover a wider range of options.

I remember trying to use it for Japanese but it sucked. The romaji and kanji subtitles were all over the place and didn't sync up

I still love watching your videos. They're great.

I'm trying subs2srs, whisper Ai, anki to do something similar.

Personally i prefer "Yomitan", because it's free and you can customize it, use different dictionaries for almost any language, and send the words directly to anki. But the good thing about Lingopie is that you don't have to configure it, download dictionaries, etc, so it saves you a lot of headaches.

Nice video but...I could have saved you a lot more time: Language Reactor Works for Netflix and RUclips. Beats LingoPie by a mile in my book.

Great video (as usual!). You mention Polish, but it seems that Polish is not one of the few languages Lingopie offers. So sad, because I am studying Polish, and would love to start with immersion in Polish. And about verbs in Polish: they seem impossible, because so many variations for ‘the same’ verb… Is Lingopie useful WITHOUT Netflix subscription? Could I use RUclips as my source of input? Looking forward to your next video! Erik. (Belgium) Learning Chinese, Spanish, Polish.

NOTECARD GANG! I'll never buy sticky notes again. Notecards are infinitely superior in every way

You ain’t First

If you want to give their features a test drive to see how your language learning can be jump-started via Lingopie, here's a 7 day trial + 50% off their annual plan (affiliate link): learn.lingopie.com/josh_word

How were you able to extract the words from the Harry Potter book into python? Does Kindle allow that?

You can also consume content about language learning in your target language, I'm actively learning French and I recently found some intermediate podcasts that discuss language learning methods etc. That way there's no excuse that your routine or whatever isn't optimized so you need to watch them in English and blah blah

Gratz on getting a video over 200k views, thats nuts from such a small channel. I mean it makes sense though because your content is solid. Also i appreciate the links to the youtube channels for all the spongebob content!

So you don't write the words when studying? Perhaps writing them was a mistake...

Lingopie here I go!

I spent way too much time doing data analysis on a Gänsehaut book instead of actually reading the book 😂

this is how i learned german in germany. was sick for 2 weeks and just watched children's tv all day plus i had a german dictionary next to me for words i kept hearing but couldn't figure out.

Any other books / series in addition to Harry Potter that do this ?

I want to do a 10.000 word challenge for 4 languages (2500 words) this helped me a lot.

I can testify that easy german WORKS. In fact, it works so well I learned by only listening without even watching.

Terrorist

amazing video, love youe pacing

I have a question. Will this work for a complete begginer ? I mean, how could someone who starts learning a language be able to understand words in this context ? Or maybe I don't very understand how the 20x methods works. If so, can someone explain it to me please ?

In Kurdish it is :Serok or Rêber به كوردي: سه روك يان رئبه ر

I learned one word from Trump and it is “Obamna”.

"the orange one and biden 2.0" lol I love it

The jokes are excellent😂

nice seforim collection

As a german it sounds kinda funny, how you said that you'd really like to read mein kampf (i dont mean it negativly i understand the curiosity). Thats just a sentence that would instantly spark jokes about you being a nazi (if you were german). Btw love your videos❤

I think at the free word in your target language it isn't 社長 but 大統領. I've been learning japanese for a year now, so I know that 社長 is more like a company president. But anyways, thanks for the vid :)

Bro casually programs a whole algorythm for us just to show how often words are spoken by politicians. Tremendous.
