It means Japanese on the walls, Japanese in the backpack, Japanese in the restroom, Japanese in the kitchen, Japanese in your headphones, headphones on your ears/neck, Japanese on your computer monitor, Japanese on your bookshelves, Japanese on your browser, Japanese as your homepage, Japanese in your favorites, Japanese in your car, Japanese on the train, Japanese while you walk, Japanese while you shower, Japanese while you eat, Japanese while you run, Japanese while you sleep…If you breathe, if you have working vision and hearing…then you can learn Japanese.īut it also means relaxing. It means putting Japanese within arm’s reach.It means that if you have to get up to get to the nearest Japanese book, it’s too far away. It means making your tools easily available at all times.

Japanesewise, assume that the past simply didn’t happen (it did, but…given long enough, it really will be as if it never happened, so…)Īnd so I’m always asking myself: “yes, but what am I doing now? Where’s the Japanese now? What can I play at now? What would be fun to do now?”. The only Japanese that can help you is the Japanese you’re doing right now. This morning’s Japanese was this morning’s fun. Yesterday’s Japanese was yesterday’s fun. Not the Japanese you plan to do, not the Japanese you should have done but didn’t. Because, I somehow got to know deep down that the only Japanese that really matters is the Japanese you’ve done in the past few minutes. So what do I think? How do I do immersion? So, for you to ask me how my typical day goes is like asking me how my typical year goes. That’s why I came up with all this crazy incremental/ decremental timeboxing crap, because 10 minutes feels like for ever to me.

I…what, drink breastmilk 1? And… 10 minutes is an eternity to me.

Why was I such cranky jerk on the “day in the life” question?
