So I was sent an interesting link my a friend of mine the other day. www.AllJapaneseAllTheTime.com.
So I’ll spare you all the details because you can check it out on your own, but basically this American guy decided to learn Japanese on his own. He claims that he was able to go from nothing to completely fluent within 2 years. That’s a pretty obsessive aggressive goal, especially without ever living in Japan. But cheers to him since he was able to do it. He has a lot of interesting links to language theory, and the way human long-term memory works. Even if you’re not as 真面目 as him it’s still worth a read. I picked up some good information and will try to implement some of these methods into my own studying practices.
As always, Gambatte ne!
