Today I decided to try to learn to speak Japanese by watching the entire first season of Naruto in Japanese in a single day, 10 continuous hours, with no English subtitles. The idea is: how much Japanese can I learn by completely immersing myself in Japanese with absolutely no English at all? Learning like a baby would? I know there's a lot of debate over whether it's possible to learn Japanese by watching anime, and in this video we’re going to find out. It’s a crazy experiment that I’m not really expecting to succeed very well but I think the results will be interesting.
Unfortunately, due to copyright reasons I’m not able to include any of the original video or audio from the Naruto episodes, but I will be including cards that summarize the plot as I watch the videos, and also discussing my experience learning Japanese along with any words or phrases I pick up as we go through the videos.
