      Yeah me neither.

      I was around five when I became bilingual, but it wasn't because of video games, it was because of Sesame Street and American cartoons.

      For me, it wasn't video games, it was the Pokemon TCG cards. By the time I started playing vidya and accessing the Internet around 2001 I already had basic English skills far beyond what was being taught to me at school.

        i remember when my 7th grade english teacher and elementary school principal were floored when they saw my writing and thought i was some undercover literary genius (i might be embellishing a bit, but you get the point) i sometimes wonder if my writing's been stagnant since i haven't really gotten praise for it after that

          I tried to coast by in life with my English skills by going for a translator career, but then I realised university sucks ass and is way more work than I expected. Now I'm an electrician.

          No it didn't. You understood things partially and you continued to not understand other things that you haven't yet learned

      I remember being like 10, watching CartoonNetwork and realizing I understand like 70% of what's said. Blew my tiny little brain. I do think "immersion" doesn't work as good for Japanese. You can watch all the anime from Japan, but if you don't sit down and learn the grammar and vocabulary, you won't get anywhere.

    I've been to Japan 3 times though. I know what the Kanji for baka and people looks like. And house. When I'm there by day like 3 or 4 I feel like I'm starting to know Japanese but Tokyo has romanji/english everywhere and even the bigger districts elsewhere are all color coded mass transit.

          I was in Japan earlier this month.
          Less than half the people are still wearing masks. Most people don't bother. Shopkeepers still wear them, so do older people, but there's no requirements for anyone else to do so. I was never asked to put on a mask and never did. Even the few stores that still have signs asking people to wear masks don't bother enforcing it anymore.

    Why would anyone want to live in Japan? You will always be an outsider and the only spark in that country lies with how some people act in private: the architecture is soulless copy-pasted grids and people act like robots in public, just listen to how they all say “arigato gozaimasu” in exactly the same way in shops
