Rewatching it when you know what they're saying also helps you get used to the speed. Now that you're not struggling to figure out what they're saying, your brain focuses on hearing
Yeah, I probably should have watched it more times to get the hang of it. If you've ever played guitar hero 3 there's this song called "Dragonforce". It's basically one of the hardest songs in the game. It basically the same as immersion I think. You have to play the song in like 0,25x speed and then work one self up to 1x speed until you can play the song normal speed. Kinda same with immersion. I haven't gotten into deeper Japanese immersion at the moment but how do you feel about the fun of immersion? Cause the beginner stage is quite boring lol, especially when you study just in the genki textbooks it becomes quite repetetive.
@@ritchiart yeah the studying part is pretty boring. But once you watch something and you kind of understand it, it's pretty fun. Even if it's something you've already seen
I was wondering if the next episode since your at the halfway point if you could revisit the manga 17-21 and the episode of takagi-san you watched in the first episode so the audience AND you could have a bench mark of how far you've come in 60ish days of learning. I personally have a letter from a fanbook with a couple of paragraphs of japanese on it on my wall and it's amazing how encouraging it is to go back and read it every now and again just to see how much more of it I understand. A couple months ago starting out i'd get fatigued even reading one paragraph of it from lack of understanding. But now I at least get through the whole page even if I don't comprehend all of it. I wish you luck with the rest of this challenge! 頑張ろう!
Smart idea! I might do that. I figured I would do that by the end of the series since I don't think I understand massively more than I did 50 ish days ago lol. But definately might do that though because I'm soon out of ideas to make the videos fun to watch HAHA. I hope you'll continue studying this succulent and beautiful language. 頑張って下さい❣
I do the same thing but instead of Google translate I'll use chatGPT because it will give me a more accurate but less literal translation. And then what I do is I ask it to translate literally each word into bullet points so that way I could see why that sentence means what it means
