Think you can’t learn a foreign language?
Think again. A healthy human brain can learn a new word in less than 15 minutes. The key is repetition. Not saying the word over and over again but hearing it repeatedly. According to new scientific research, a person needs to hear a new word 160 times within a 14-minute period in order to remember it.
That’s a lot of repetition and it doesn’t seem like a particularly fun way to learn a language. But at least it gives one hope that becoming comfortably proficient in a foreign language is possible, even though it may take thousands of hours to get there!

I wonder if there is a program that lets you loop an audio track a certain amount of times then moves on to the next track.
