Refold

Refold.la is the new project from Matt who was the original creator of the Mass Immersion Approach method. It carries on pretty much the same philosophy and methodology.

The website and method are extremely cultish and some of their followers can be some real vocal fans with a cult of personality around Matt himself, but still they have some solid ideas that they try to panhandle you as this new groundbreaking method.

Nonetheless, there’s some good resources for Anki and similar tools that might be worth checking out.

The science of letting go
- Refold calls this “Tolerate the Ambiguity” and provides a bit of a summary explanation, however I know it’s not easy to get into this mindset and to just “let go” and move on when faced with unknowns, especially for people who are used to analyzing every single word as they show up.
Japanese Learning Loop
- There’s an overall guide on sentence mining and sentence cards on the Refold website.

Mass Immersion Approach
- NOTE: This page is kept for historical purposes. “MIA” split some time ago into Refold and Migaku.
- They have a lot of interesting and somewhat useful resources, but towards the end of 2020 their two creators (Matt and Yoga) decided to split up the partnership due to internal problems. The two new projects for each of them respectively are Refold and Migaku.
