Well, who would’ve thought…

I seem to be doomed to learn languages through TV.

First I learned most of my German (which, if I may boast, is way better than the German spoken by 95% of Germany’s population) through TV, with cartoons and anime to be precise. As history tends to repeat itself and mankind never learns from its failures , today’s revelation really shouldn’t have surprised me:

I looked at my Japanese-textbook and realized, that after watching tons of anime (subtitled, of course), I could perfectly understand 95% (I seem to have taken a certain liking to this number today) of the text. Mind you, it wasn’t an academic essay, but nonetheless it isn’t bad, considering I’ve never made it through the book and haven’t actively learnt anything about the language since at least 3 years.

其れで、皆頑張りましょう！

PS: Oh, just because I can: 恭喜发财!
