How effective is the immersion method?
Firstly if you don't know, the immersion method of learning a language is when you surround yourself in your target language, you can either go to the country physically, or make an environment for yourself. This means watching japanese podcasts, listening to japanese music, or reading japanese next books
This is the most natural way of learning a language, and first you might not be able to understand anything, but with more exposure you start picking up meaning of words through context, and combining this method with flashcards I find this method more effective than just relying on text books alone. Let me hear your opinions
