Definitely agree, if immersion is your goal, but if you’re still in an active learning stage, I think it’s important to isolate phrases that are causing you problems. I use an Android app called Smart Repeat that has unique buttons for skipping back 2/secs/5secs/10sec etc.

I don’t really loop, but I have Japanese TV (I dont live in Japan). This goes on 24/7, so, its pretty good for immersion. Sometimes there is not much interesting to see, then I just lower the volume like you suggest.

I think I got it, loop that sh#t until you find new immersion media that suits you haha. But I personally think that people are way to picky with media, I mean if you’re looking for good new movies, series animes etc. it’s not like you’ll have to watch the whole movie or series, if you don’t like the first episode or trailer of a movie don’t watch it and look for something that will be fun for you.There are so many sucky animes out there, and you don’t have to be a masochichst and watch through one where you’ll just be bored to hell. I think that people are kind of scared to try out new things, we want to stay in our usual life routine, the one we’ve been used to so long. I guess that’s why many people are never able to learn new languages or many underrated works never get discovered and successful and Madden,Fifa make millions every release even though it’s the same recycled crap every year lol.
