I learned Spanish by watching one movie 50 times

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.

  • Hunh, this seems like an adaptation of the L-R technique listed here https://sopuli.xyz/post/659485, but for a single film. Pretty interesting.

    • Refold (who Lamont is a partner of) focuses quite heavily on L-R for the beginning stages. I agree it's quite interesting to see!

      • Ah, I haven't looked at the actual learning strategies of refold, I've only seen their flash-card packs (which look good!). I assumed it was more or less a kind of Dreaming Spanish style service with more guidance rather than this style L-R where it seems like you just kind of jump into the deep end a bit with a source you can commit to putting up with.
