we all know it’s popular to use music and videos to learn a language.

do you start off by having some intermediate knowledge of a language before you start using music/videos to learn and then write down any new terms? what is your process?

I am trying to use videos to learn cantonese but there is a lot I am struggling to understand.

    IMHO, you should have at least a basic knowledge to start with videos. I.e. know some basic grammar and know some hundred most frequent words. Then start with videos targeted to learners or for children.

    Have a look at https://www.languagereactor.com/ it’s cool for videos.

    All the best on your journey.
