How To Actually Learn Japanese From Watching Anime

 This is not some fanatics guide to learning Japanese through only relentlessly watching anime, and not doing any work at all, a feat that I have seen attempted, and in all cases miserable failure was the result.

Take Notes


Take notes of all the recurring words that you don't know. If you see the word used repeatedly over 20 minutes, and it's not something limited to the confines of sci-fi or fantasy, jot it down and memorize it. The thing about a language that makes it hard to learn from just textbooks and old audio CDs, is that languages don't stay the same. They change with time, and sometimes keeping up to date with popular media, is the only way to have an up-to-date vocabulary, short of actually living and breathing the language.
