Intensive vs. extensive reading: which is better? by Steve Kaufmann

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver crack open the story of Paul Levesque — not just the wrestler, but the executive, the visionary, the man steering WWE through its post-Vince era. This isn't your typical Triple H retrospective. It's a candid, insider look at how Paul went from riding in the car with the Kliq to running the most powerful wrestling company in the world. And trust us — the way Kevin tells it, you'll never look at an entrance, a storyline, or a WrestleMania moment the same way again. Kevin opens up like only a peer and friend of 30 years can, walking listeners through Paul's evolution: from the young guy learning the business on the road to the architect of WWE's current creative flow. There's real admiration here, but also nuance — like how Paul delegates, who actually shapes what we see on TV, and what happens when the perfect plan falls flat between the writers' room and the ring. It's a conversation about power, performance, and the responsibility that comes with building something that millions of people care about. This episode also touches on landmark moments in Triple H's journey: that spine-tingling 2002 MSG return, the birth of NXT as a credible counterculture brand, and the pressure of stepping into control during the company's most scandal-ridden moment. Kevin and Sean don't flinch — they talk about the McMahon family dynamic, Stephanie's quiet exit, and how Paul managed to reinvent WWE's tone without blowing it up entirely. Then, in true Kliq This fashion, things take a left turn — Kevin steps away mid-show for what Sean jokingly imagines is an emergency call with Triple H himself. That's when longtime contributor Steve Kaufmann slides into the co-host chair for the back half of the episode. The vibe gets looser, the riffs get sharper, and a surprise round of “Florida Man vs. Jersey Guy” brings the perfect mix of absurdity and sharp wit that fans love about this show. Whether you're in it for the backstage scoops, the business philosophy, or the barstool banter, this episode is one of the most well-rounded yet. It's thoughtful, funny, and full of the kind of unfiltered insight that only comes when legends reflect on other legends — with a little sarcasm, a lot of honesty, and just enough rum in the piña coladas.

10 things I never do when learning a language by Steve Kaufmann

New Year's resolution: goal or commitment? by Steve Kaufmann

With Kevin Nash absent this week, this episode of Kliq This takes a deep dive into the evolving saga of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's unexpected impact on WWE's 2024 landscape. Sean Oliver and producer Steve Kaufmann piece together key moments from past discussions to recount how The Rock's sudden boardroom influence, surprise returns, and teased WrestleMania plans rattled the entire wrestling world. Relive the initial shock as The Rock confronted Jinder Mahal and teased a showdown with Roman Reigns, all while fan expectations for Cody Rhodes's triumphant story skyrocketed—and then got derailed. From backstage chaos, locker room uncertainties, and shifting creative directions to CM Punk's views on The Rock's return and the evolution of WWE's global approach, this episode compiles and contextualizes past clips into one cohesive narrative. Whether you're curious about the industry's behind-the-scenes machinations, the business strategy behind The Rock's involvement, or the shifting tides of fan reception, this special “saga” episode offers a panoramic look at one of 2024's most talked-about wrestling arcs—all told through archival commentary and discussions that stand on their own.

İclal: [1:27] Şu an Türkçe de dahil dokuz dil biliyorum diyebilirim. Aslında şöyle oldu... İngilizce, küçüklüğümden beri öğreniyorum. Daha sonra Arapça öğrenme sürecim oldu ama şu an aktif olarak öğrenmiyorum ve çok iyi konuşamıyorum da. Ondan sonra kendi başıma Fransızca öğrenmeye başladım. Şu an en iyi konuşabildiğim dil de Fransızca. Daha sonra pandemi zamanlarında canım sıkıldığı için İtalyanca, İspanyolca, Almanca ve Rusça öğrenmeye başladım. Geçtiğimiz sene Hollanda'ya gittikten sonra Felemenkçe öğrenmeye başladım ve iki aydır da İsveççe öğreniyorum.

What makes some languages harder to learn than others? In this episode, we attempt to entangle the objective factors - as to why a language is complex - from the subjective ones. We also dedicate a section to talking about our experiences with those languages which we traditionally think are the most difficult to master.

In this episode, we delve into the dark depths of the etymology of words like Halloween and Samhain! But fear not, it's just an excuse for us to talk about Celtic languages and some words that creeped into the English language! We also covered a hotly debated topic: can you really learn a language in 3 months? And if not, how long does it really take to do so? We'll check what scientific studies say, but we will also share our own opinions and experiences.

Tomorrow I will do a livestream with Dr. Stephen Krashen, linguist, educational researcher and activist, where we will discuss language acquisition. Join us at 11AM Pacific Time on August 24: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7WUxvpPIKQ

His Input Hypothesis – a group of five hypotheses developed in the 1970s and 80s, argues that comprehensible input is the key component required for successful second language acquisition. Language education in schools and universities has traditionally been based on the belief that practicing speaking, vocabulary memorisation, repetition drills and grammar rules are the keys to learning a second language. According to Krashen, however, studying information about languages in the form of grammar rules and practicing speaking through repetition drills are of marginal importance. Instead we acquire languages when we understand messages through reading and listening to our target language. If we follow his principles, our task as language learners is simple: seek out reading and listening material we find compelling and comprehensible, then consume enough of it until we've internalised the language. If we get enough comprehensible input appropriate to our level, our comprehension skills will consistently improve and our ability to speak the language will then gradually emerge. The online language learning community is full of influencers and learners – myself included – who have been inspired by Krashen. The likes of Steve Kaufmann and Matt Vs Japan (who I interviewed for this podcast) are examples of what can be achieved when Krashen's principles are applied successfully. But Krashen is not without his critics and there are question marks over how applicable his ideas are to learning Mandarin. Can Mandarin pronunciation and tones be acquired through comprehensible input alone or is in necessary to learn rules, use rote memorisation and repetition drills to become proficient? And what about grammar? Can we acquire Mandarin to a high level without deliberately studying grammar rules? In this episode I want to take a critical look at the input hypothesis. To do so I've invited two Mandarin learning experts, both of whom have appeared on this podcast before. Professor Karen Chung is a linguist with decades of experience working at National Taiwan University. Daniel Nalesnik is the founder of the leading flashcard website hackchinese.com Together we explore the strengths and limitations of the input hypothesis in the context of learning Mandarin.
