Immersion Log Let's try something new!

Immersion Log has different scoring than “Let’s Walk Together”

  1. base rate is 2 XP per minute
  2. JJ - looking up words in weblio or another Japanese source [I recomend for N3+]x2
  3. if it is designed for 外国人 [textbooks, graded readers, Japanese class ect] ÷2
  4. if you are shadowing audio [echoing what you hear] x2
  5. A day I don’t study is -5XP

I count my reviews at .5XP/分, because that isn’t immersion.

When I follow a Japanese recipe, thats 12XP - cause it takes 3 minutes to read the recipe [6]- and I figure out new words in Japanese by looking at the pictures on cookpad or image searchx2 [12].

Manga, Anime, talking to my friends are 2XP/分

Video games are 1XP/分 unless I read all the dialogue - [Usally I skip the dialogue then read the summary in the log if I have to].

Today I’ve tried to immerse by reading on Tadoku site that has many stories. I haven’t gave up after one minute, so this could be considered my first successful attempt in immersion.

This is my first post on the Bunpro forums, so I am a little lost.

Today, I read about ドイツのランドセル (despite being European myself, I was just interested in how Japanese people felt about our school bags…)

Hello everyone!
Hope you are having a nice day.
For my immersion today, I chose to watch this comprehensible input video about corporate life in Japan.
I also started watching this super awesome Minecraft gameplay for Japanese learners! But, since my attention span is not that great, I did not finish it (yet).

I have done 1 hour and 11 minutes of watching anime in Japanese with Japanese subtitles on.

(I also have done 1 hour and 30 minutes of immersing in German, but that is off-topic.)

I have finished the Let’s Learn Japanese with Minecraft! #1 – Immersion & Comprehensible Input !
I might watch more and read more today, because it is still lunch time, but I am not doing that well physically and mentally, so I do not want to push it.

So far in June:
I watched an episode of way of the house husband 極主夫道 20m
I tried a Native relationship Advice podcast. Each word was clear, but I couldn’t follow at all 10m
So I went back to Let’s Learn Japanese from small Talk. I listened for like an hour at work 20m
I read 6 pages of When Marnie was There in 30m
Total:80m

yesterday: 彼女と彼女の猫
today: the NHK easy news article about rice prices. I typically don’t manage that well yet, but this article specifically appears to have a lot of very early vocab if you’re going by some core-deck

Today, I have watched the first episode of this Stardew Valley gameplay. Highly considering turning my game’s language into Japanese, but my gameplay is kind of far at this point, so I might miss loads of dialoque… But still, I am considering it.

I have also read this article about the first Birkin being auctioned.

If you liked that episode the entire finished series (56 regular episodes, 14 specials) is available to download on this site. I think it should be okay for me to mention it here since I’m just linking to the website in general, not a specific piece of media.
That site is a goldmine for Japanese variety shows, if you like idol groups.
