I am at a point where I have went through the first 300 words in Kaishi and have read some very basic grammar. Anki is something I don’t enjoy doing, but I don’t despise either.
In order to keep language learning interesting and fun I really want to start immersing, however I struggle at finding beginner content that is engaging. So far, Shirokuma cafe is the only remotely interesting beginner anime where my understanding is around 25%. Anything else I find interesting like Japanese horror, other anime, or Japanese let’s plays, the understanding is probably less than 10%.
I guess there are 2 parts in my question. As the title suggests, is it too early to start immersing? At this stage, should I not worry about understanding anything and just use immersion as a tool to get familiar with the sounds and structure of the language? And is there any beginner friendly media you would highly recommend?
