Fluent Japanese PURELY from Anime

Ойын-сауық

This week we interviewed AJATTer Chris, who has been learning Japanese and became fluent purely through anime, light novels, and visual novels. Chris has been previously interviewed on Matt Vs. Japan’s channel, having reached a relatively fluent level of Japanese purely through immersing with anime, light novels, and visual novels. He also recently posted a video of him speaking Japanese fluently after 3 years of following this method. On this podcast we hear about his Japanese learning journey and his level today, after three years immersing with the language.

    Thanks for having me on the podcast :). I had a lot of fun and time went by so fast that I didn't even realize the passage of time. I find it hard to watch myself in videos but I'm glad that everyone in the comments and on twitter have been so positive about this interview coming out so thank you guys on YT and twitter & once again thanks Eric and Raza for having me on because I had a lot of fun! And also, this podcast+ meeting a bunch of people who are ridiculously good at Japanese has me wanting to read more so I'll definitely be doing more active immersion on the daily compared to before even if it's only an hour or two more.

    Good job getting so good on your own. Even most people who take a class never reach fluency. It just proves that wanting it enough is the most important thing.

    Great podcast as always. But I find the background music annoying. I can't concentrate on the conversation because of the music. It's probably just me.

    I usually don't mind music for shorter videos, but for a podcast it's a bit much. Maybe if the volume was lower

    Does anyone have any techniques for looking up words in a visual novel? Or visual novels which assist you in looking up words? That's my biggest pet peeve of visual novels, albeit a small one. It's such a bitch to whip out Shirabe Jisho or whatever on my phone and write in the words by hand to see the definition, especially when it's difficult and I'm looking up a word every other sentence. It's so fuckin easy to hover a word with Yomichan when reading stuff in my web browser, but looking up words in visual novels wears on me quickly because of how much of a pain in the ass it is to not only look it up but then to add Anki cards so that I actually retain the new words.

    I've heard of people using a text hooker, which I think basically allows you to paste whatever sentence you're looking at into a webpage, and then you can use yomichan on top of that. I'm not sure if you'd have to use an OCR for a visual novel if it doesn't let you copy-paste it.
