My tips: 1. Don’t track your immersion 2. Watch something you have already seen in english or know the plot of so you don’t feel lost watching it raw 3. Look for content you enjoy regardless of difficulty or efficiency, at this stage all that matters is time spent with the language so anything that can increase the likelihood will do. 4. Be playfull recognize that this is a game, not active study, there is no tests, its just trying to level up and learn new words everyday. As long as you keep a healty mindset and stay patient, your desired results shall come with time. Make sure its an enjoyable time though.

@@字幕なしで Although she's a girl and English is not her mother tongue, she made a video in English, learned how to use Anki and RTK and study immersion theory and stuff. I think her effort's worth something. She's also cute and have the same goal as us, I don't see why he shouldn't give her more attention than he gave to the other MIA fellows.

Excited to see how your progression goes! I too ran into similar problems and I think most of us do with Japanese >.< I spent about a year poorly trying to make a schedule around Anki and immersion but ended up just doing my cards for the day and then falling off for most of the rest. It wasn't until about 5 months ago that I really started to take it more seriously and find ways to stay engaged with Japanese throughout the day. These are just some of the things I've been doing to help me squeeze in some immersion: 1. For a couple episodes a day I'll watch anime with Japanese subtitles to get a bit of reading practice along with listening. It is more reading but this has been helping me solidify some of the kanji readings. 2. I've also been doing a lot of grammar and kanji/vocab study recently and to make sure I'm still getting my immersion I'll study for 30-40min then watch an episode of anime then study again rinse and repeat :P It gets me to actually take some time out to immerse. I think a lot of us fall into the study trap where all of our time begins to fall towards studying instead of actually watching or listening. I'm sure for most it's the feeling that we just aren't understanding enough without native subtitles. I'll make sure to check back and see how things are panning out when you're not so busy=D

You have a good mindset. You're looking for solutions to your problems, and it seems you're not afraid to experiment. These are things that are going to help you improve immensely, so keep that up. If something is making you demotivated, and engaging with Japanese is starting to feel like a chore, change it or get rid of it. I am also tracking my immersion (Anki is not immersion), but only how much time I spend doing various activities every day. That way, every day becomes a game to beat the last. As soon as tracking is starting to become a chore, I'll stop. Do feel free to make a video about the languages that you speak. It would be interesting to learn more about your background. At any rate, good luck and keep on learning Japanese.

In case you haven't mastered Katakana yet, I learned Kana by playing Katakana Pixel Party on the Nintendo Switch, found it much more useful than even Anki because I didn't have to care about reps and algorithm and such of a deck I was gonna delete soon. If you don't own a Switch you should consider buying it. It is a pretty good device for immersion since for most games we can switch between English and Japanese (both audio and text) quite easily. I also find the thing that relieves my burn out stress the most is gaming. Video games are designed so anyone can play despite they understand nothing so they're pretty good in the start.

I could not imagine studying uni and Japanese at the same time, you have done really well so far! One drama that I watched that I really liked and found easy to understand was 親バカ青春白書 (currently on my 3rd watch of it) it has a lot of every day/common words. Of course it depends on the show but I find drama is generally easier to understand than anime.これからも頑張ってください!

I would suggest that you are very early in your journey to learn a language like Japanese. It takes years, but it is worth the effort - and you will not only reap the rewards at the end, but indeed as soon as you will be able to have a meaningful conversation with some native speaker of your target language. I am a Quebecker, so I speak French. I learned English and now I'm learning German. I use Anki since August 2020 and you are right to say that it can take away some time from immersion. But don't throw it away if you still want to learn Japanese. You can control the parameters on Anki - if you play with the settings you will find how to do that - and use them to reduce your workload and bring it to a sustainable level. Personnaly, I reduce the number of new cards (from 5 to 3 or even to 0) when I know that in the coming days I will have less time available. When I have more time for me, I raise the number of new cards again to 5. And I would never do 200 repetitions in one day. My number of repetitions vary between 70 and 90 usually. On the other hand, I've been doing them religiously every day for 9 months now. What motivates me is that, when I am immersing, I come across some of the words that I have just learned on Anki. This experience shows me that this app is very usefull and efficient. I followed Matt vs Japan and other polyglotts on KZitem and although I think they are right with their idea of studying by yourself, I think that it is true mostly when you have reached an intermediary level. Before that, it can be good to attend classes of your target language and wait until you are autonomous (B1 level) to integrate your own immersion to your studies and eventually put much more efforts to your autonomous immersion.

For tips, maybe just watch some stuff for fun without worrying about immersion / studying? Do more of what you enjoy and experiment :). NHK WebEasy, is a great start to begin reading. Yotsuba, Nichijou, most shounen / shoujo manga a great next step because of furigana (how to read the kanji, makes searching up stuff easier). 角川つばさ文庫 Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko also publish simplified books (like Your Name ) which can be great when you are further along plus they have furigana on everything. For reading material, on Bookwalker JP or Booklive you can try the samples of any manga / light novel for free. Plus there is some free manga. Anyway, good luck and wish you all the best on this journey :)

@@mylanguagecorner6727 Hope this helps too: (if you are making notes) Consider slowly to reduce the English in your notes... Just steadily to start to use more Japanese in your Japanese notes + silly drawing which help you to understand the grammar point. This will really help in the long term where the explanations could be in Japanese only! What helped for me was just writing on Google / Bing: grammar point + jlpt eg “といい jlpt” and coping the explanation from a Japanese website. Initially it was really frustrating but it was worth it. (Probably its not important) , if you decide to use iTalki, or have a Japanese teacher / friend: For a month or so, make one of the main points for the italki teacher to check how you say all the kana from あ, い to the variations しゃ, ぎょ. This depends on the sound quality… The idea is to build a solid foundation in speaking and afterwards to not really worry about it. Forvo also has recording of natives saying different words. (The sound quality varies). Coping a section of a page or so from a book is actually really useful from time to time. Writing Kanji from time to time is a good idea as it helps with memory. Don’t be stubborn, if things are not fun and something is not working (and you gave it your best shot), change your methodology. Over time, your methodology will have have to change to a point as your Japanese ability will improve and your goals will adapt / change. Learning any language is hard and a marathon, make it more fun! To be honest, I feel like immersion really works well after building a solid foundation..... Japanese podcasts like Sokoani and Rebuild rebuild.fm/ are great for background noise and passive listening. Consistency is key. Hopefully build a daily habit of spending eg 15 minutes of studying Japanese. Like read for 8min, do some Anki write for 3min. If there is time later in the day to study more, its a bonus Don't worry about review count. Doing a review is better than no reviews :D
