Hey there, language learners!
Welcome to our YouTube roundup! Our YouTube team has been on overdrive working on videos to help you take your language learning to the next level.
They covered a wide range of topics, including community questions about dealing with dialects and language temptations, tutorials on low-tech immersion and chorusing, and even an interview with someone who learned English from cartoons and video games!

Ask Ethan — How to SQUASH your leeches.
Hey language learners! So you’ve diligently been reviewing your cards on Anki, reviewing your vocab lists, and you’re feeling great about your progress so far. You’re remembering almost everything after a few reviews.
Key word: almost.
Sometimes, no matter how many times you see a word, you have a hard time making it stick. If you miss a card too many times times, Anki will mark the card as a leech. Over time, you’ll have a whole stack of leeches.
So what should you do with them? Keep banging your head against the wall and try to remember them brute force? Save them for later? Or just simply delete them?
Find out as Ethan dives into this topic!
