This week we interviewed AJATTer Chris, who has been learning Japanese and became fluent purely through anime, light novels, and visual novels. Chris has been previously interviewed on Matt Vs. Japan’s channel, having reached a relatively fluent level of Japanese purely through immersing with anime, light novels, and visual novels. He also recently posted a video of him speaking Japanese fluently after 3 years of following this method. On this podcast we hear about his Japanese learning journey and his level today, after three years immersing with the language.
