- Don’t read books. (1) Browse them. (2) Let “reading” happen on its own when something draws you in. (3) “Draw” wears off; go back to (1) #
- Trying to do it all in one go is sort of like…trying to chug a drink in one breath — you just end up choking. Relax. Sip. #Timeboxing #
- Experimenting with rolling dice as a decision-making tool (where [making decision] > [decision itself]). Sort of like doing janken alone. #

- Learning Japanese with romaji is a lot like learning English with katakana. フォー ワン シング、イット メイクス ユー サウンド ライク アン イージット #
- *Small*action*verbs*. Learn ’em. Ever met a Japanese person who can say “postpone” but doesn’t know how to use “get” or “have”? Yeah…that. #
- *Small*action*verbs*. The gift that keeps giving. The power that keeps empowering. Learn them. Love them. Even at the expense of other words #

- It’s not your hand, it’s how you play it. Bob can live, marry and procreate in Japan and know 0 Japanese, while Alice immerses to ownage. #
- I don’t like the word “immersion” that much. “Contact” is better. Contact (small, discrete actions over time) leads to familiarity, intimacy #
- Unclench. Chill. Have a smile.
A common tragicomic behavior: trying agonizingly hard to relax and/or have fun “correctly”. # - Seriously…if it comes down to a choice between following the exact steps I’ve laid out, and having fun…choose the fun 😀 #

- It’s not about the speed. Speed is nice, but contact matters more. Just keep making contact with your language. Touch. Tap. Click. #
- Textbooks and other more traditional language materials are good for bootstrapping. Decent place to start. Ridiculously sucky place to stay. #

RTHK Podcast Station bit.ly/cLNQdf #Cantonese # - Both literally and figuratively, turn your Japanese down to low if need be, but don’t turn it off. Save your energy by using energy… #
- It doesn’t matter what Japanese thing you do, just that you’re doing something in Japanese. #
- Food ingredient lists have always been one of my favorite things to read. Since you asked and all… #
- In truth, one doesn’t learn a language; one turns into a person who habitually comes into contact with it. #
- When one doesn’t know the language of a country, one can only experience a very coarse, warped, low-res version of the country. #
- With long-term projects, the only wrong answer is to do nothing. So, just pick the smallest, easiest “something” you can do. It counts. #
- Unnecessary, voluntary suffering is not beautiful or heroic. Make life easier for yourself. #
- I don’t much like the word “immersion”. “Contact” is better. Contact (small, discrete actions over time) leads to familiarity, intimacy. #

- Both literally and figuratively, turn your Japanese down to low if need be, but don’t turn it off. It’s easier this way. #
