Oh, nice. I have done the song thing before, but never a recipe. Good idea.
I don't play sports ball much though so a lot of the advantages of your second suggestion might go over my head.
Watching a Kung Fu movie on repeat is a lot more my style haha
Well indeed watching movies helps. How about dodgeball! The best might be some comedy show you've seen before in your mother tongue so you even know what's going to happen. When you get good you notice which jokes they completely change because they make no sense in the other language.
Yea, good idea.
Sorry, I was referring to this other thing I mentioned in a different thread.
I'll take a movie dodgeball, any movie where the actors speak clearly is fine, and I watch that once a day for 4 to 6 weeks.
It boosts my comprehension like crazy, because I'm not just learning new words but my brain's getting used to recognizing the rhythm and syntax instinctually, but obviously you have to be pretty disciplined to go through with it because it gets to be boring!
Effective, and pretty rapid learning, but it's a real jog through molasses for a while there.
