I’ve been searching for the magic silver bullet for years, and now after thousands of man hours studying, and thousands of dollars spent on media, i’ve found that the magic silver bullet of Japanese learning is to just do something, anything in Japanese and to to it consistently. That will get you the best result.

I wouldn’t exactly say that sticking with a bad tool is better than using no tool at all. If anything, it can set you back further, entrenching you in some really bad habits and making it harder for the good tools to work their way into your mind. That’s exactly the problem I face now with my Japanese: I’m interpreting it all in English, and it’s a clumsy, highly inefficient process. In the past, I’ve tried out methods that should cure me of this by revealing to my mind just how useless it is, but my mind held on, understanding be damned.

I am still searching for the magic silver bullet that will lead me away from this, and while continual questioning has led me to more refined questions that get to the heart of what’s wrong with my Japanese understanding, they haven’t resulted in any worthwhile answers.

“I know why you’re here Neo…You’re looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn’t really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It’s the question that drives us. It’s the question that brought you here.”
