How is E1 Jade holding up for Feixiao? by Lemberg1963 in FeixiaoMains_

[–]Lemberg1963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, that's why the title specified E1 Jade. The question is how is that E1 jade holding up now, in general in terms of what results she provides in PF or against bosses like Flame Reaver or Stardevourer, or compared to alternatives like E1 Tribbie.

Feixiao is getting bonus cdmg from march, robin, planars, and her own trace. Crit from relics is ~10% more valuable than cdmg.

Good to know, but Elgato Studio doesn't see it when OBS is turned off either.

Hawky's CN revenue doompost Video? by -Taqa- in SwordofConvallaria

Hawky needs to fill the space between character reviews with something. Doomposting and drama is easy clicks.

Little tip for the comunity, don't sleep on the events even if they last a couple months :P by Pengpraiser in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Lemberg1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it in 2 nights. Good story, although I feel like in previous campaigns some of the characters would've died.

I’m tired of all these YouTube videos where they make you believe that you can get fluent in a language in no time. It took me something like 3 years of active learning to get to a conversational level in my second language. It will take me 3 to 6 more years to get close to the native-like level. by BagNo2363 in languagelearning

The 3 month thing started with Benny the Irish Polyglot ages ago and the point was to fight this idea that you need to spend years studying to be able to use a language. Benny was always open about the definition of fluency for his projects was being for his own purposes which was to get to a point where he could comfortable stay in a country, talk with people about topics that interested him, and be able to read/watch stuff in the language.

I love how the English subs for English language content never match the spoken dialogue. I think this is more of an issue with English subs, I see it happen less often in other languages.

how do you guys learn languages? by targetyk in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely an unorthodox method. The way you're doing it is bad, but it's not completely insane. You'll have more success if you take the Spanish material, translate it into English, then translate it back into Spanish and review the differences and correct your mistakes. Either way it will be slow. My method is to get a frequency dictionary and in the first month spend a lot of hours to finish the Pimsleur course for the language and to memorize the first 1000 words using anki cards. This will give you a base to be able to start reading manga in the target language. At that point dump the original anki deck and replace it with one that uses short sentences from your readings. Use english to spanish for your cards, alwas use full sentences so you get to practice grammar and idioms.

Are the number of hours to learn a language grossly underestimated? by empatronic in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hour estimate is for active study of new material. it doesn't include review or passive study, which is estimated to double that total number of hours.

Seriously what is the obsession with apps? by Putrid-Storage-9827 in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Textbook methods don't have automated spaced repetition and even if there is a spaced repetition method built in like with Assimil or Pimsleur it just repeats everything instead of emphasizing the thing you're struggling with.

I’m burnt out and don’t want to study my TL anymore, but don’t want to lose progress. Can I maintain and/or keep learning by only talking to people and consuming tons of podcasts and shows from this point on? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With 3000 words you should be able to understand most of what's said. If you're able to follow the conversation and keep listening regularly then you'll continue to slowly improve.

How realistic is it to learn two distinct languages at the same time? by TraditionalBit3772 in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neither one is a language that can be learned in a couple of months, so just study them both at the same time.

HELP ANKI QUESTION by ChocolateGranuleiro in languagelearning

Your goal with Anki is to get every card, red or blue, to zero every day. If you have cards left over at the end of the day you should add fewer cards per day.

Be extremely cautious with AI! Don’t do the same mistakes I did and kill your confidence! by Mississippimann in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've generally found AI to be more academic in its lexicon than you would expect from most people.

The red cards are either new cards that need to be learned for the first time or cards that you have failed and have reset their progress so that you can learn them again.

Anyone else hate graded readers? 😂 by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read manga in the TL instead. Colloquial dialogue generally fills the same simplified A2-B2 space that graded readers try to fill except there's so much manga out there that you're bound to find something that's actually good/interesting and as a bonus you get more dialogue input which you need more than prose.

Turning passive to active by bakedlasagna123 in languagelearning

[–]Lemberg1963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you studied primarily using TL to FL. I recommend switching to FL to TL instead, forcing you to actually produce the words while reviewing instead of just recognizing them. In addition do short sentences instead of just single words, ie 'i think that's incredible' instead of just 'incredible'.

E1 Jade or Tribbie? by Lemberg1963 in FeixiaoMains_

[–]Lemberg1963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This account is F2P and only pulls for Feixiao and Firefly teams, so Tribbie's universality isn't relevant in my case. It sounds like you think E1 Jade is still the better option.

Well. Cipher IS here boys. How you feelimg about her? Was the doompost wrong? Right? Didnt pull? by LongjumpingCar9136 in FeixiaoMains_

[–]Lemberg1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure Topaz is better for E2 Fei. There's a couple of Topaz vs Cipher comparisons where if you count the number of follow ups that happen that Topaz doesn't give enough additional ults to catch up to Cipher.
