Im a high schooler who just likes japanese. Dont really care why or how, i just do. Using this method has been the most fun ive ever had learning a language. Sure, its going to be a long journey but ” a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. As my school is a music nazi during lectures(2 hours of no music) and then I keep forgetting to turn on my music right after class to keep myself immersed. This post is a great post, even though fall you still can get up and keep going. Im probably going to forget to do my SRS reps(Projects galore.) But hey, its not like japanese is going anywhere right?

Hello,
In another article, you say not to use the Japanese audio programs with a lot of English, but all I’ve found so far are programs with a lot of English….. What really good audio resources do you recommend to use that have little or no English?

Thanks

Let’s face it, it’s all a matter of working smarter, not harder.

It really all reminds me of an dispute I just had last night, in which one particular woman had been boasting how she wnet through years of pain to learn Japanese. And then when I mentioned Khatz’s methods, she was in total disagreement. She felt that one had to study HARD and often. In other words, do things that are “painful but worth it.” She also scoffed at input over output. Sad, really.

On a different note, I also often find that even though I’m living in Japan, I still find myself in the midst of exposure to English. Seems like every Japanese perosn I meet wants to practice their English for free. I really need to start charging.
