Hello fellow learners,

I had a really cool moment yesterday that I wanted to share! I was watching some anime (for, uh, study purposes, of course) and there was a moment where I understood an entire line of dialogue without reading the subtitles!

It was just a short, simple line, but the feeling was amazing. For that brief second, the language wasn’t just symbols on a page or sounds I was trying to decipher; it was actual communication that my brain processed directly. It’s a tiny glimpse of what fluency might feel like, and it’s incredibly motivating.

These little wins really help keep the spirits up, especially when grappling with tougher grammar like transitive/intransitive verbs.

Keep at it!

Oliver
