>>56241074>currently learning JP (god its so much harder)I highly, HIGHLY recommend saving money, taking a sabbatical (a year off work or between jobs) and go attend a Japanese language school in Japan.
For me it was very scary, but the best decision I've ever made. I've since come back to my own country, for unrelated reasons, but now I can understand most of what chuubas / anime / tv shows say, I can read JP twitter and 2ch (using the browser extensions for all the kanji I don't know) and it's super fun.
I literally understood as much of FWMC's JP zatsu as I can of their regular EN streams (which is like 95% because of their thick accent)
Here's my school https://www.incul.com/eng/japanese_school/
