    Films with subtitles

    That’s copeium. Most people are too lazy to match meanining with words when wathing films. Ask any weeb if they know japanese from watching anime for years. (I don’t)

    I satrted to pick up language from flashcards, childrens books and textbooks. Not from translated films. (english or japanese or russian)

      Absolutely not. It’s a great way to learn. I am living in Denmark currently and everybody here knows English, young and old, because they have movies with subtitles on their TV.

      Well you have to be deliberate about it. You need to actually practice the language outside of watching the shows/movies. But the content you’re watching is a strong motivator to continue learning. And then one day you turn the subtitles off!
