      Yes, during it's slots for shows it will literally cycle through the same episodes back to back, especially if there's a special. Night begins to shine (teen titans go) was played NON STOP for a week , back to back for a few days then over and over within the Teen titans slot. I honestly stop watching CN after a few hours since the show slots just repeat after a certain time. Can see how it's valuable for people using the channel to learn english though :)

    • @bumblebeeisfree
      @bumblebeeisfree 3 года назад +2

      I have about 2 months into Japanese. And I repeat my passive listening content for example I have about 10 hours worth of podcasts and they are in a repeated playlist constantly on the bg. The only thing I don't repeat is visual content as it tends to be boring for me because I don't know Japanese enough to follow the plot so going by visuals alone will get tire some quickly. This is why I am constantly looking for new content to watch for my active listening. Although I've been thinking to re-watch things with Japanese subtitles on because I am interested in seeing my progress with RRTK and because I want to get into reading soon.

      @Kenura Medagedara It does, of course as kids get older they advance. Obviously their level of shows they watch advances as well. They watch shows for their age group. It works for any and all ages. It's basically the same as using anki srs. But it's a natural form of srs. Kids rewatch shows at all ages. 2 yr olds 3, 4,5, 6 and on. So, I'm not sure what you meant. By, by then they're already more advanced. So not sure it would help? What did you mean. Never too old to srs with tv. They're too advanced for shows below their level or age group yes. But, they've already watched those a ton of times. When they were younger. So they've absorbed everything they could from the content. In that case yea it'd be no point rewatching shows below your age too easy. You go to your age or above it.

    Didn't watch the video but I can totally agree based on my experience. When I was young, like every other kids, used to continuously watch TV in English. Since tv always reruns episodes, I guess over time with enough repetition, using both context and visual aid, words began to stick. Of course all this happened without me realising anything. Just goes to show power of comprehensible input, in this case watching same episode over and over :)

It may be a different kind of repetition, one with a lower degree of familiarity, but repetition nonetheless.

    Steps I've been doing recently that seem to be giving good results:
    1. Run video through Subs2CIA (Subtitles to Compressed Immersion Audio) that removes downtime between dialogue (I use 1500ms gaps w/ 750ms padding). Turns a 50 minute show into 30 minutes of near pure dialogue.
    2. Read the subtitle script once along with the audio, pausing to look up unknown words phrases. Bonus points for shadowing. I use subs2srs to make the script, and drag/drop the text file into the browser so I can use Yomichan.
    3. Listen to the audio on background or passively throughout the day on loop. Again, bonus points for shadowing.
    4. Repeat 2 and 3 the next day with either the same episode, or the next episode.
    Reading along with the audio just seems to raise the comprehension level of the audio for when you listen to it by itself later. The more comprehensible audio happens to be, the better results you'll get when immersing in it.
    Of course, you can use Yoga's suggestion of using smaller clips by cutting the audio into smaller segments if needed. Subs2CIA and Subs2SRS both can do that.

    I have watched several series on Netflix in my target language 2 or 3 times. The first time I just watch all the episodes with L2 subtitles until I'm done with the series. The second time through i download the transcripts and read through them before each show. I still use L2 subtitles. Then on the third pass I watch the series again but without any subtitles or reading the transcripts. Essentially I can understand 98% of the show by the third pass. I have done this with about 4 different series and now I can understand almost all native level content on the first time through now. I do a similar method with books. I have done extensive reading and listening to the Harry Potter book collection. I am working through them again but I am reading them using an intensive reading approach. The first time through the books I understood most of the story but was missing a lot of the details and the second time through i understand probably 90%. I am a big fan of repetitive listening and reading to long series due to the natural repetitive nature of series in general with increasing the level of engagement during each pass. It has helped me reach a level in Spanish where I can have conversations, read, listen and do all of my work completely in Spanish with ease.

    I dunno I might be retarded or something but after a year of studying I still find reading books in Japanese very, very hard. I can spend a whole day watching, say, K-On and not get tired. And then get myself a headache after reading two chapters of a book. Reading manga completely destroys my will to live because I can't just select a word I don't know (or not completely sure I know), it's especially infuriating if it contains a kanji I don't know. I don't think that reading Japanese is easier than listening.
    It wasn't like that when I was learning English by just reading books. Even though I didn't have a computer back then and it still wasn't nearly as painful. I can't prove it but I still feel like reading was just about as hard as listening, maybe. Actually, English that you can find in movies and games is generally not that hard and there's also intonation and stuff.
