10 Month Japanese Immersion Progress
Показать описание
No formal courses, textbooks, teachers, nor any experiences talking to anybody in Japanese. (Calculated) immersion through the internet is all you need. This is a timestamp to record my progress after nearing 10 months since using the Mass Immersion Approach
I wouldn't say following it to a T is necessary as I hardly followed what it says; just used its general ideas and continued how I saw fit. But those ideas are invaluable
Informative videos, also good for all things Anki. Anki with proper MIA addons is 100x better
Japanese foundation any learner should have. I believe this playlist can serve as a substitute to any textbook. Once you absorb the playlist, dive directly into native resources like anime or books. Don't fear the ambiguity and lack of understanding that will be present at first.
While you should study with advanced material even if it's above your level, I believe supplementing the powerful momentum associated with studying "well-beyond your level" with closer to your level material is very useful. Particularly with the live recordings, this channel essentially feels like a tree that has endless low-hanging fruit to collect. At an intermediate level comprehension feels very high, so rather than having much energy exerted toward trying to understand what is being said, you understand most all of it and that energy is exerted into absorbing Japanese sentence structure and cementing it in your mind. For beginners the channel is also great, as I imagine it sits at a goldilocks zone of difficulty that I haven't encountered with any other resource thus far. Wish I found this channel when first starting. I mostly use this channel's live recordings for shadowing (speaking out loud alongside the video), and I believe this was a paramount component in getting me to be able to formulate thoughts (along with getting my tongue muscles accustomed to Japanese)
Not a question; a must download. Shift+hover over a word and dictionary definition pops up. Matt vs. Japan has (a) video(s) on this
Primary site I use when studying anime. Even if you're not learning Japanese but like anime, this site is amazing
Kanji:
I used Wanikani for Kanji, but I don't necessarily recommend it. It's slow, doesn't allow you to go at your own pace, and although it provides lots of vocabulary, learning them in its isolated fashion doesn't make them stick. It was nonetheless an indispensable help for me, but there are almost certainly better options. Focusing on remembering the meanings of Kanji (rather than individual readings) and learning Kanji readings (as well as meanings) through what you encounter in immersion through sentence mining is probably the way to go.
I may not agree with everything in here but it seems to have the right idea most everywhere; serve as a good Kanji guide
