I got the term from the author of http://www.koreaninkuwait.com/ who used to post here as GoldFibre (and had a rather lengthy language log about his Korean studies). It is pretty much the same as what most people here call "intensive reading" (where you look up any unknown words) but his chosen term of "scorched earth" (i.e. annihilating something as completely as possible) seemed more appropriate since I would also add all those words to my SRS as well thus ensuring that no words from that source could possibly be left unlearned. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I like your idea about a "hook" for a language.
Now I just have to find a "hook" for Spanish. This is a interesting log to follow. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wow, it had been a long time I hadn't heard of KoreaninKuwait! I just checked his website
and saw his year-review from last July or so. Impressive stuff. His devotion to Korean was the most impressive I've ever seen I think. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks. I honestly credit getting hooked on Korean as the sole reason I'm still at it nearly 4.5 years later. It makes it hard to ignore a language when the bulk of the media you consume is created *in* that language. That is why I feel so certain that I could do the same thing with Spanish (i.e. continue learning it long term rather than dropping it yet again) if I could just find something in Spanish that just embeds itself so deeply that it makes ignoring the language near impossible. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

His language log was definitely one of the most motivating to follow and I used to visit his site daily until a couple years ago when I was so busy that I stopped visiting any language blogs at all. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Acabo de terminar de ver el primer capítulo de "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" en español.
Por alguna razón, el primer parte no tiene subtítulos. Por eso, vi el primer parte sin subtítulos y el segundo parte con subtítulos en inglés. Fue muy interesante y entendí más de lo que había esperado. Translation: I just finished watching the first episode of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" in Spanish. For some reason, the first part did not have any subtitles. So I watched the first part without subtitles and the second part with English subtitles. It was very interesting and I understood more than I had expected. (FYI: Corrections to my foreign language postings are always welcome, so if I did something wrong, please feel free to point it out.) Watching this show again made me recall just how much I enjoyed this show when it was airing. I definitely plan to keep watching these "en español" then adding in Angel when the timing is right (otherwise the crossover episodes won't match up). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I found myself continuing to watch Buffy this evening (maybe I finally found one of those
hooks I needed for Spanish) and suddenly realized that the Buffy Season 1 Spanish torrent I found previously is actually Season 1 Disc 1, so it only has 4 episodes (technically only 3 since the 2-hour pilot episode I mentioned watching in my last post is split into two episodes on the DVD). So after having watched 2 more episodes tonight, I've now exhausted the contents of that download. I've found some other downloads but most that I've found don't have the audio and subtitle track selections included (they've been ripped to AVI with only the Spanish audio attached). While I'll watch it that way if I must, I'd rather have the option to toggle English subtitles, if possible. In fact, I'd be happy to buy the first couple seasons on DVD in a Spanish version, but I've not had a ton of luck finding a decent option to do so. I found an okay deal on eBay for a full set from Spain (all 7 seasons for just under $70 US, though that is for a *used* copy not a new set) but the only listed shipping option was quite expensive (nearly $50) given the estimated delivery time (2 weeks or so, which isn't bad but isn't really worth $50 in shipping costs either). I may have to keep finding what I can for seasons 1 and 2 until I get to season 3 when I can go back to buying the standard North American releases and get Spanish audio that way. 1 person has voted this message useful |
