How I learned Japanese by myself without studying

We back with another language video this week. A question I'm sometimes asked by friends is how I learned some of the languages I know. And in this video I wanted to detail how I learned Japanese by myself without really studying. This was virtually free, self paced and location independent too, I am happy to share. IF you read the description you are a real one and I appreciate the love and support! Don't be shy, say hello down below!

Here are some chapters in the video:
00:00 - Intro & Brief Explanation
01:40 - Language Learning Theory
02:49 - Method #1 Input Overload
06:17 - Method #2 Self Rebounding
08:13 - Helpful Resources
10:44 - Outro
