I was recently looking into resources for Japanese grammer and I came across a video which explained sentence structure as outside in rather than inside out. This helped me a lot in internalizing sentences as I listened to them. This is the video, in case anyone is curious.
But, I'm still pretty slow with it. I'm watching anime on Crunchyroll with ManabiDoji & watching Japanese Netflix or Youtube videos with LanguageReactor. These have been super helpful. But that video which expained outside in vs inside out grammer has been stuck in my mind every time I read the English subtitles to understand the Japanese words. I've gotten very good at associating words in Japanese to English when comparing sentences. But it bothers me a bit when I read the English subtitles as a reference afterwards and (often) have to deconstruct the sentence in reverse.
This made me wonder if there are any dual subtitles extensions out there which generate English subtitles in the same grammatical structure as Japanese sentences? Would anyone happen to know of such a resource?
Also, if you think I'm approaching this in a way that would hinder me in the long run, let me know.
