Haha i like your content. The short clips that were used as cutaway scenes were cool. I miss japan. I also did the same as you i.e. watching movies completely in Japanese 😅 understood every 5th word
Thanks! Glad you liked it! Try watching show for toddlers. Did that, understood maybe very 3rd word, was humbling experience to realize that I'm worse than 3 year old 😅
I mean... I kinda agree with you, you need SOME basis to heavily improve with this method. But doing "immersion" even when you know near to none still benefits you in the long run. I tried it with my brother, who wasn't that great with English. Every time he tried to watch something dubbed, I switched it off. Every time he pronounced something that came from English originally, I corrected him. I pushed him to watch shows in English without subs. Previously he lacked a lot of grammar, and kinda the sense of the language. After a year of this, he leveled up so much. Now he knows some words that he probably never could have encountered, and has that knack for the language where even if he doesn't know every single word in a sentence, he can still guess the meaning of it perfectly fine. He is lazy as shit as well, so this was probably the only way for him as well lol.
that sounds more like teaching than just plain old immersion. If someone corrected me everytime I brokenly ordered food at the restaurant that would definitely stick. Your brother is lucky to have someone guide him. Not sure how to cure laziness tho 😅
You're supposed to learn around 1000~3000 words and all essential grammar before full-on immersion. At that point, you start watching CHILDREN'S SHOWS, and only move on to more difficult content once mastered. You must follow the recipe at least once before you can make it your own.

totally agree with you. There are still a bunch of people who believe that you magically learn the language just by breathing that country's air :D
