I don't want to discourage the author but, to be honest, what I see is nowhere close to what I figure would help me to learn Japanese. Questions I see on home page have nothing to do with learning - some about traveling around the country, some about translating "good morning", etc. True - I haven't registered. TBH though I don't see why should I.

When it comes to learning any language, but Japanese in particular, I can't thank enough to the guys who created Mass Immersion Approach web page[0]. Their method is based on Stephen Krashen's "language acquisition through comprehensible input"[1] and... it just works.

I've been learning Japanese in the classroom for around 2 years. I've been living in Japan for 5 years and my Japanese was rather mediocre. I've left Japan for a year and forgot a lot. Grammar is gone now, most sentence patterns are gone, mose kanji (and I've never been big on kanji) are gone.

Now, after 4 months of MIA I am better then I've ever been. If you truly want to learn the language - read the page, watch their YT videos[2], just do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time.

PS. I am not related. Just a happy learner.
