In terms of efficiency, I’ve heard some say its better to repeat watch a movie until you understand almost everything, than say, watch a lot of movies were you look up unknown things and just replay the line you didn’t catch once or twice. Maybe, there’s value in doing both?
I’m currently doing the latter for the last past few months, and I’ve noticed small progress (which I kinda expected) but wondering if maybe the first one yields faster results? Although, it would def not be as fun for me.
Getting back into reading Japanese and there’s some basics that still confuse me. Taking this sentence for example:
> それでも今年の寒さは特別で、こんなに雪が多いのは希なことだ。
Why ことだ rather than ことです? Would ことです sound natural too?
