16:18- If I'm taking a trip to a country in 6 months from now and want to learn a bit of the language before going, does it still make sense to do Refold?
19:49 - I grew up hearing Spanish, so I understand it but have never been able to speak it. I've been immersing but am still struggling with output. What should I do?
31:43 - Is Refold going to survey people in the community to create statistics on language learning?

I found an extremely effortless sentence mining workflow a couple of months ago, and consequentially have a considerable backlog of cards. I'm wondering if stopping sentence mining and just immersing will benefit, maybe telling my brain that all this ambiguity is really important to solve. Or would the benefit of making passes over unknown words during sentence mining outweigh that?

2022-03-18 14:04:28 +0000 UTCI have a question: Can you have too much repetition if boredom isn't a factor? For example, if a show only has around 40 episodes, is it there a point at which rewatching the show one more time gets "subpar" results, and it would be better to watch another show, even if I feel like rewatching that show for the literal 10th or 20th time? What about intensive immersion? If I already did one pass of that show with Intensive Immersion, I imagine doing a second pass after many months is great, but how about a third one, right after after finishing the second one? Considering I never get bored, that is. For context, I'm in the middle of stage 2B, and this is all assuming that in each rewatch, there's still things I don't completely comprehend Thank you for everything!
