Summary

The secret of learning a new language is enjoyment. Learn a new language with materials or methods you like and enjoy. For example, make fancy flash cards, read your favorite book etc...
Not only enjoyment but there are another three keys. First one is methods. Method to keep your memory, remember the vocabulary - golden method. Use that.
Second principle is to create a system in your learning.Create a plan in the learning. Wake up 15min earlier, listen to podcasts on our way to work and don't plan about making extra time.
Finally, the last one is patient.

Reaction

I didn’t know that there are so many methods. She suggested searching for “polyglots methods” and I will read articles or watch youtube videos. I will do that. I definitely do golden method!
Recently I am crazy about watching youtube videos. It’s fun but sometimes I feel so guilty to watch youtube all day long. So that I would like to shift Japanese youtube videos to English one.

感想

すごくわかりやすい英語で、自分英語できるやん！と少し自信になったw
1回目、字幕なしで8,9割ほど理解できた
字幕ありの方が格段にわかりやすい。聞き取れなくても、字幕見たらなんだこのワードかーいって時がある。= 音と文字が繋がってないんだな
