I watched almost no Mandarin for three years, but I'm back on it now. I'm up to
about 520 total hours. The good news is that I believe my retention was quite good, as I don't feel I really lost (the little of) what I had learned by the end of 2015. At this point, I can say that learning exclusively by watching authentic videos, with no feedback or other learning strategies, is quite slow, but does work, if ever-so-gradually, and is convenient. I'll keep at it now until I get to 1,000 hours, then I'll go to Phase 2 of my Mandarin Experiment, using what I consider an ideal learning method. By the way, my blog URL changed to mandarinexperiment.org Anybody else using mostly or exclusively videos for learning a language? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hello, victorhart!
Following a lengthy review and discussion of the persistent and unresolvable technical and administrative problems related to the maintenance of the How-To-Learn-Any-Language (HTLAL) forum, the agonising decision was reached to launch on REPLACEMENT forum using a new platform. The new forum was launched in July, 2015. Since the launching of the replacement forum, some three years ago, activity on the HTLAL has declined to level that any reasonable person would qualify as virtually nil. While the HTLAL remains a much-appreciated archive of information and discussions on all aspects touching upon independent language-learning, the "active" discussions now take place on the replacement forum. For this reason, should you be interested in engaging with the "active community", I suggest that you REGISTER on the REPLACEMENT forum. Here is the LINK: A LANGUAGE LEANERS' FORUM.
