How do you guys space out the rereading and relistening of dialogues and texts?

To azarya’s point you need to find something that works for you. It my take some experimentation and flexibility.

I can tell you my preference, if I read something is to just spread it out. In other words don’t read the same thing 10 times in a row. Probably better to space it out a bit. Could be a few minutes. A few hours. A few days! Having said that, my language learning sessions are very haphazard (where I can fit them in during the day) and sometimes only a few minutes sprinkled throughout the day. I might read something, then re-read it later that day another time or two. Then I will try again the next day if there’s still some words I want to see if I can get “learned”. I might re-read a few more times over the course of the day and next, but at that point I move on even if I haven’t learned everything. I feel at some point re-reading the same things becomes less effective and some words may just be difficult to make stick.

Also…if I re-read anything, it will be something very short. Under a few minutes usually. Most things over a few minutes I won’t read again as I usually find it too tedious.
