Deep within, I know it will tremendously improve my learning. Since, that is how I genuinely learn English. But my head is having doubts or second-guessing it, since it's a long and slow process that occurred years ago, for when I was doing it for English. I was consuming English media with little to no understanding from when I was about 5 until 12 years old; a point where I can say I'm pretty comfortable with the English language.
Not to mention that it was mainly a subconscious thing; I wasn't actively looking for English things to watch or listen to, but it was just way better than local entertainment and was pretty accessible too. So, now, I have no concrete, believable proof that it will hugely help my learning, which feeds my doubts. I keep telling myself, is it worth it to spend 20 mins watching something with a chance of not understanding anything at all, even when I'm considering rewatching titles that I have watched multiple times before. The fear of 'wasting' time gets me, every single time when I'm considering transitioning to full Japanese experience.
So yeah, here I am looking for stories or experience from other people, so I can add more 'legs' to the 'table' of my belief system in doing this method. Thanks in advance! Oh, and this is my first time posting here, so I hope I chose the right flair for this post 🙂
