I’ve been seeing so many reddit posts saying youtube japanese immersion is amazing and people always recommend a bunch of beginner friendly channels and say it’s the best way to learn. I really wanted that to work for me too, but honestly I just get confused most of the time when I try.
I’m around N5 right now, only started learning like 4 months ago so I know I’m still very beginner, but still.
I even tried language reactor because literally everyone recommends it, but sometimes the word definitions it gives just don’t make sense in the actual sentence. Then I end up copy pasting the whole sentence into ChatGPT just to understand what’s actually going on and honestly it’s kinda a hassle and takes away from the fun because I have to keep switching back and forth
So I’m wondering… is immersion just not meant for complete beginners? Like I see some people say you should start immersion even as a beginner but have any of you actually found it fun at that stage?
Right now it just feels mentally tiring more than enjoyable, and I honestly thought immersion would be the fun part of learning 😭
Would love to know how other beginners experienced this or if it suddenly clicked at some point.
