So you've been learning Japanese for 4 years and still suck? Heres why.

There's famous qoute that goes "70% of winning is just showing up"

Show up for your Japanese 100% everyday.

Dont think in terms of how many "calender years" you've been learning for think in terms of "listening hours" and "reading hours" you've put in. That's all that counts.

1/2 an hour study of Japanese a day will take you a whole life time to master it! Use fun ways of studying to ensure you're getting as many listening and reading hours in as possible.

The best way to learn Japanese is to go to Japan! Enroll in a Japanese language school! In 6 months you will be pretty damn good at Japanese

@GmonyZB depends how you're spending those 7 hours lol

Does book copying of books with how to learn kanji count as a form of studying? I do know that book copying does take a lot of time. Are the Remembering the Kanji books by James W. Heisig have all of the kanji needed to being able to do the japanese language proficiency tests?

@aaron85077 The sound you hear is the sound of his point flying straight over your head. I'll paraphrase this entire video into a few simple words:

"If you wonder why you're not picking the language up fast, you should try doing everything you possibly can in that language as often as you can."

Work and study? Do as much as possible in Japanese (work obviously is not always appropriate). Take notes in Japanese, write your shopping list in Japanese, use it each day, etc. His point is valid.

So if you put in more hours you learn more?? Wow you are a truly gifted human being to have figured that one out. PS what job does the baby do to earn money while it is learning constantly? Because Unlike babies, normal human beings have to work or study other things. Grow up mate, you are not as smart as you think you are!

7 hours a day for 4 years is more than enough to become fluent in japanese
