A 5-beat faceless video outline for “Listening ladder: from slow content to messy real audio” in the Language learning systems niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.

Angles

• Listening ladder: slow content to messy real audio
• Caption-backed references: My Method for Learning Languages from Scratch; The secrets of learning a new language | Lýdia Machová | TED
• Reuse the beats only — narration must be original; cite sources on screen

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): Native audio sounds like noise.
2. Beat 1: Rung 1: comprehensible slow content.
3. Beat 2: Rung 2: learner podcasts.
4. Beat 3: Rung 3: real shows and conversations.
5. Close: Recap ladder. Original narration only.

Method

yt-dlp VTT captions (uploader-provided, not auto/ASR) → timed beat heuristics → editorial topic synthesis. Structure only; write original narration.
