CHAPTER

Learning Japanese Through Listening

If you can see letters in front of you that feels so crystal clear even from day one. So when you rely on these letters and you that's how you learn words  that's kind of how the information ends beginning formatted in your brain it gets stored as letters in a way. It does speed up the language learning process because when you know what what you're trying to listen for your brain's gonna find it a lot more easily.
