I used to be addicted to English gameplay videos on YouTube when I was younger. I also tried learning Japanese in school, but it always felt exhausting and I couldn’t stay consistent.

One day I randomly started watching a Japanese gaming YouTuber out of curiosity. I didn’t understand much at first, but I kept watching because I genuinely enjoyed it.

Years later, I can now hold conversations in Japanese.

What I’ve realized is that I don’t think language learning is always about finding the “best method.” Sometimes it’s just about finding something you enjoy enough to stay with for a long time, and letting progress accumulate naturally.
