by watching videos of a guy who makes reworded versions of khatz' blog posts and is still not native-level fluent in korean after 9 years of study (but is at least not a dogmatic asshole like matt is) https://youtu.be/Zukv8wZ1BkQ

khatz is utterly blown out by matt.

dogen > khatz > matt > makopi > ciaran > quiz > jamal > anime godfather > moe

>>22422430
that means it's time to learn mandarin like khatz did and matt is doing. you are truly following in matt's footsteps.

>>22399084
yeah, i think khatz got picked up on actual grammatical errors meanwhile matt and dogen just got picked up on pitch accent

lol matt DESTROYS khatz here

It was longer than a year though. Khatz, Matt, Jamal, George, Lucas, Quizmaster all have their own things to say about learning but there's one thing shared amongst all of them which is about making hours and having fun. I just believed the message Matt/Khatz was saying, it sounded like logic. I understand that some people like to watch their media without understanding but I just wasn't one of them, I'd rather do 10000 hours of white noise and then do the fun stuff, what should I have done instead? In a sense this was my way of having fun. All those hours are better than nothing, same goes for Jamal's 10000 hour of watching anime with english subs. Its still better than nothing. Just because its passive listening doesn't mean its easy to do, I found it at times not very easy at all, it might be passive but its still there all the fucking time. Just like getting tired of a song. I've had countless moments where I got sick of the white noise and the same commercials, same anime, same news.

>btw khatzumoto was better than matt, as far as we know
lol wtf are you talking about matt sounds way better in his convo with steve than khatz has in anything

are you on the treadmill? this is the mentality for learning japanese. matt and khatz were on the treadmill all day

>>22157210
that's because khatz is a high iq kenyan ouji, whereas matt is a socially withdrawn hikineet autist. he doesn't exactly sound too "normal" in english either

right now im comparing that one video of khatz talking japanese in natural conversation, to matt's japanese when talking to kauffman and i have to say, im not expect on what is better japanese but khatz japanese sounds so much nicer to my ears

even khatz read that grammar particles book. idk where people get the idea that ajatt says you can't learn basic grammar from a guide. matt has advocated that people learn basic grammar from guides before sentence mining.

Dolly's latest video says "[AJATT] is a school that advocates learning Japanese fundamentally by immersion without studying the grammar structure
because the idea is to pick it up in something like the way a child picks it up intuitively."

Does she not know that grammar study is an early step of AJATT/MIA or is she outright lying to make it looks like her approach is something radically different? Because it isn't.

Five minutes later she says "You don't learn Japanese from structure. It's just an aid to make learning Japanese from immersion much easier."

The MIA quickstart guide says "In MIA, the goal of studying grammar is strictly to increase the comprehensibility of your immersion. In other words, learning the basics of Japanese grammar will vastly improve your ability to understand and learn from real Japanese, and to this extent, grammar study is worthwhile."

It's like except for her grammar guide everything she says is stolen from Matt or Khatz but she's not even good at stealing.

i was gonna say this dude should replace khatz at the end with matt since matt revolutionized language learning but he would probably consider matt white so no can do lmao

>>22105947
well matt actually helped me just as much but i like khatz more cause his blog posts are just entertaining i used to even have his "potheads, planners, players" charts on my wall

>>22078470
1t is still fucking retarded. i understand why he changed it but it doesn't need to be changed. it works. it's not like krashen is even promoting his input hypothesis in the same way anymore, he's admitted it's flawed in interviews and usually just promotes tprs now.

matt is "so concerned" about nuance yet only applies it to some things and completely omits important changes as just the same thing like khatz's ideas as just being ajatt as if his changes were never made. he's such a hypocrite, i cannot stand him.

>>22044212
aren't khatz' articles recommending MCDs still up, whereas matt updates his site and uploads new videos explaining how his own recommendations are changing? there is no hypocrisy here you retard.

>>22044187
>Matt clearly doesn't want to discredit a man who deserted the internet a long time ago
Nah, Matt doesn't care about that. He highlights how Khatz basically turned into a conman in his video about using the AJATT site and in one of his Patreon videos which someone linked here he said a lot of unflattering things about Khatz.

>>22044212
Here you go.

>>22044187
Let me give an example. Matt supported MCDs, I can find the screenshot where he says it. That was years ago and he now hates them. So, MCDs are not part of his model of how you should learn Japanese. But, in his recent video with Yoga where they talk about AJATT, they always bring up old AJATT as if that's Khatz current idea (Khatz still posts online occasionally). To Matt, it's as if Khatz's old model is still the current one because Khatz said it.

That's clearly hypocritical. Matt recently removed mentions of meditation from his site and has an updated version of his timeline, so his old one is not recommended anymore. He's only applying that logic to himself but not to others in order to make them look bad and make himself look good.

He's done this before, saying on his site that Yoga is fluent in Portuguese but he's changing his definition of "fluent" since if someone was at that level in Japanese, he would not call that person fluent. Yoga has said he's not fluent in Portuguese so clearly it's just Matt trying to boost himself and MIA.

So, Matt can say his ideas can change and his old ideas are irrelevant now yet says AJATT is what Khatz originally said and it can never change despite Khatz having new ideas? lmao

>>22031899
he tried to pitch it based off the fact that matt had signed up for khatz lessons or some shit but george forgot to mention matt only did that to be best friends with some dude he'd never met.

>>21992489
khatz and matt aren’t fluent
