Long Tails Either Get Caught or Get Stepped on

Start watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo S1E6 wherever you stream it, and skip to 30:00. Press Start the moment you are there — then tap a word the instant you hear it. This run lasts about ten minutes. You won't see subtitle lines here — just the words. You're training your ear, not reading along.

You've got about six seconds either side, so aim rather than stab.
