Immersion Log Let's try something new!

Looks like fun! I spend the day at the zoo with friends because it was my friend’s birthday: the same friend that I’m going to Japan with, actually. There was no Japanese practice to be had today.

After talking about playing Pokémon in Japanese on the Natively forums, I decided to play Alpha Sapphire some more last night. While I still have quite a few lookups, it’s not as hard as I thought it would be.

I spent the day playing FFXIV: 450 reading XP

My goal for XP last time I used XP Navi was 1,000 a month - and most of the time I couldn’t do it.

Hoping to pick back up with Harry Potter. Going to try and form reading time habit in the mornings and at the very least before bed. Got to ch 3 back in Feb or so, but started watching キヨ。 play Zelda and ace attorney.
. Now I’ve run out of videos for games I’ve played /liked T-T

I did very much enjoy watching him play tho. Especially when I started noticing the difference in my listening speed ability from the first video where I only caught like 5 words per hour of Zelda breath of the wild until the last where I’m catching strings of sentences back to back and actually forgetting it’s even in Japanese because I’m so into the ace attorney story.

I had already played both in English before, tried in Japanese for Zelda but it was too above my head and less fun. Cool, but less fun

In terms of difficulty, Zelda was definitely harder to listen to, both because it’s vocab is more fantasy and because my listening ability was lower at the time. On the plus side I now know 矢 and 宝箱 very well

Ace attorney however I had a Japanese playthrough to the very end. I enjoyed it very much. At the beginning of it I had a running list of words I didn’t know and was adding to Anki to review later… Did not continue the list after the first story out of 5. Was much more enjoyable just going with the flow of the story checking only important words in a look up and moving on. Some words I had to keep looking up again and again lmfao heck you 資料 but it was much more pleasant overall. Now because I had already played through in Japanese before finding the video playthrough of キヨ。, his video was MUCH easier to understand than the Zelda one. Because I already knew 99% of the vocab and all the context. The neat part was, there was stuff I just didn’t understand from my playthrough like at all. But listening him react to it and things he would say after kinda of paraphrasing it in a way was so so helpful! Listening to him read all the game text out loud and his reasoning for things and reactions throughout the game felt like a super charged boost for my comprehension.

Annnnyywayyyy gonna make an effort for HP this summer✌️

So I finished 2 seasons of blue Exorcist, and played plenty of final fantasy

I bought Quartet textbook and did the first 4 pages… then page 5 is write a 300 字 essay about someone you admire which I’m not doing that.
Maybe I’ll write 100字 next week…

I bought some Japanese games and books, but I haven’t tried any of them yet.

I spilled on 魔女マナの物語 and returned it in shame
