I tried learning Japanese through games instead of studying — here’s what happened

I’ve been testing a different way of learning Japanese recently

instead of just memorizing or studying, we try to use Japanese in real time while doing something

I’ve tried it with a couple of people so far — one of them is basically a complete beginner

what was interesting is that the interaction with the environment (like a game) made a huge difference

instead of thinking too much, you have to react, and that seemed to help people speak more naturally

also, having a native speaker there to guide and throw questions in real time helped a lot

it’s still very early, but it feels way more “real” compared to just memorizing

I’m planning to keep testing and improving this

if anyone’s curious, I might open a few casual test spots — just experimenting with a few people right now
