Eat a diet with hardly any fibre before you go. The last time I was bunged up for 4 days I had eaten a lot of meat and not enough veggies in comparison. It'll either help, or you'll just have a very big poop idk.
I would recommend lessening your fibre as a minimum if you must though!

After following this guide I had a look and what you say about sites using .mp4 is true. What's nice about yt-dlp is that it stitches files together when they're sometimes split into parts.

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.
It sounded pretty unbelieveable to me until I saw it. I wonder what he'll do next. :D
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Please note that the platform (Lemmy) is in it's early stages and some information may become out of date over time.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!

So is there anything we can do to amplify things get this message across to Reddit?)
I need to see if I can find something that has close-ish subs for the first watch through but it might be fun to put up a poll at some point.
This is wonderful, thank you so much!

> This seems like overkill to me, but Lamont is speaking very highly of this method.

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.
Ayyy, welcome to the fediverse, glad to hear things are feeling good for ya!

No worries there! While the focus here is refold and immersion based methods, I don't think think I'd want to open a community with intolerance towards other learning methods if that's what works for them. I would rather help someone figure out a way of including it if that's what they want to do but if they think it's not for them then that's okay too. I think with every method, routine, technique or topic there's some really diehard fans that you see and hear from the most.
Overtime things have become more moderate, you get out as much as you put into it for sure but you can still have a social life with this method and combine it with whatever suits you and your interests best.
I know you mentioned Dreaming Spanish and I think it's is a great resource for listening practice but it sticks to the methodology of not reading until you have X amount of listening hours and not studying grammar at all, whereas Refold wants you to include reading time (with an audio source at first) into your study and they want you to put a little bit of time into grammar if you can manage it in order to speed up the process of understanding. It's kind of interesting to see where these guys agree and disagree. :D
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.

Hello Syrup, welcome! That’s a very good question. Take my answer with a grain of salt as it’s not a method that suits everyone. I think it mostly comes down to what you want to get out of it. There are a bunch of methods and paths out there. This is just one of them. Some hobbyists also want to speak straight away and that’s okay if that’s what they would like to do. One of the examples that has been specifically brought up for speaking fast is Fluent in 3 Months by Benny Lewis, there are probably more out there too. Some intensive immersion based classroom courses include speaking and the speakers seems pretty fluent. Speaking sooner does help you when you are in survival situations like living in the country or visiting a country where your target language is used.
There’s a lot of confusion because the refold roadmap has changed over time but there are still videos and other sources of information out there with older information. It’s not as hardcore as AJATT or MIA, it tends to focus on consistency over time in a way that is sustainable. You start with a very small but achievable amount of time everyday and then gradually over time you can choose to increase time spent with the language. Some people are happy with just doing 15 minutes a day and other people are happy with 2-3 hours a day. I cannot verify it but I get the feeling that Steve Kaufman spends a little bit of a little bit of time per day as well.
When I went on the refold course people asked things similar questions, including myself and this is how I learned about the updates to their roadmap. I went on this course to make sense out of it all because being told,”just immerse bro”, was never helpful to me because it was never specific enough. There were some people who were taking traditional classes where you are expected to speak but they were using the refold method to reinforce their learning of vocabulary and grammar. With language learning, things don’t have to be super rigid so you can mix and match what methods and resources you would like to use.
You’re encouraged to study the phonetics of your language but if you are learning a language that is very different than your own (e.g. an English speaker learning Mandarin) then you’re encouraged to study it more frequently. When I learn new things, sometimes I get words and phrases stuck in my head and feel compelled to say them and practice the self-talk technique, I was told that it’s quite natural and it’s okay because often it’s something you’ve learned.
I asked what counts as output and what I was told Is that it’s when you freestyle and make things up on the fly (and I’m paraphrasing here). So in this case using tourist phrases wouldn’t count because you didn’t make it up yourself and so they’ll probably be grammatically correct. I’m not in the speaking stage yet but I don’t always follow it to the letter. Personally do shadowing infrequently but I read aloud with feedback from a tutor, a native speaker or I’ll do it alone. Sometimes I do self-talk with phrases, grammar patterns or chunks I have learned. I’m not as worried about sounding foreign because I am foreign, but for the people who are worried about that, there’s no pressure to speak. I do find that these speaking techniques are helpful for me because I get very anxious or shy speaking to people I don’t know but not everyone has that problem. My silly little noggin can go completely blank when I get nervous even when speaking in my native language.
From what I understand, in a conversation when you listen to someone else, you are practicing your listening comprehension skills but when it’s your turn to speak you’re using a form of active recall drawing from what you know to create a message you wish to convey. I think this is why people who speak from day one do very well to in recall as recall is used to learn a lot of things.
All in all, I’m not someone who is following it to the letter because as more research comes out they update things to improve it, my processes are always being tweaked and I am learning what resources work best for me as I go along. I think it should be the same for other people, it’s good to find what works best for you. Right now., I have no deadline but I did also start off learning languages in a class at university where there were declines and very different goals. If you absolutely need to speak then speak.
Tl;Dr
- It boils down to goals and deadline
- There’s a lot of old/dated information floating around.
- Consistency is valued over cramming
- Refold can be combined with traditional classes if desired
- Outputting = free styling (survival phrases are okay to learn if you need them)
- Speak If you need to Speak
Note: I’m sorry in advance if there are any mistakes or if something is not clear, I’m getting sleepy. Some people are hardcore purists about a method but sometimes you need to try new things to grow.
Also, I love that you volunteer for ESL, it'll help a lot of people!

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!

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!

Video Description: Ben's language journey with Czech began a little over 50 days ago with a goal, a plan, and a post-it note he wrote it all down on.
The goal? To become fluent in 2 years. The plan? Well, he goes over that in this video. The post-it-note? Illegible
Long story short, Ben's goal is to spend ~1.5k hours of Czech in 2 years time, and then take a trip to the Czech Republic. He'll be documenting his progress along the way as he learns the language, so stay tuned.

What is Refold? > Refold is a method for learning to have an instinct in a language -- so, to be able to use it naturally to express your thoughts and ideas, rather than learning to translate like is taught in schools – Ben @ Refold (2023)
Refold uses immersion and exposure to the language to achieve that goal of learning a language. If you like binging Netflix and Youtube, reading novels or gaming, then you're in the right place!

I am a learner myself, I'm not offcially affiliated with Refold but I have enjoyed it's various itterations throughout the years.
Happy Friday Everyone! You made it to the end of the week!
Would you care to share something about this week? Come chat and unload.
You can freestyle it and talk about anything realated to this week. If you're not sure where to start, here are some example questions below.
- What went well?
- What didn't go well?
- Is there anything you're proud of?
- Is there anything that you are happy or excited about?
- Did you discover or set up any new communities this week?
- Is there something going on in your community that you are excited about?
There are upvotes for posts and upvotes for comments but on lemmy you're not reminded of an overall running karma total. The lack of this count makes me feel like there's a lot less pressure for every post or comment to be an absolute banger, witty, smart or something along those lines.
On reddit I would lurk a lot because I was none of those things but I feel like I can engage more now.
What do you think? Do you think it's a good thing, a bad thing or perhaps do you feel indifferent?
