Which level of videos is good for me?

Initially, we recommend you check out the descriptions we provide for each of the levels and figure out the one that best matches your level. Once you start watching our videos or consuming any other kind of content, we recommend aiming at understanding at least 80% of the overall meaning (not of individual words). It’s okay if you miss the details, but you should aim at watching mostly videos of which you can get the main thread and that keep you engaged. If you understand 100% of the overall meaning, it’s actually ideal. You may think that you need to encounter many new words in order to learn faster, but the number of words you encounter is not as important as how well you can understand them in their context. When you encounter few new words but their meaning is very clear from their context, that’s when your speed of acquisition will be optimal. Besides new words, it’s also very important to be exposed to more samples of usage of vocabulary, expressions, and sentence patterns that you can already understand. We estimate that around 90% of our acquisition is in terms of vocabulary and expressions that we think we know but that we still need to completely get used to. Each word has have a whole range of meanings it can cover, nuances, ways to use grammatically in a sentence, and situations in which it’s appropriate to use them. This “leveling up” of things that you already have some familiarity with is what will actually give you the kind of deep understanding that you need for them to turn from passive into active vocabulary and expressions that will come out of your mouth without effort when having a spontaneous conversation.
