What do you guys do to increase Japanese listening? Every time when I read or listen I understand sh*t. It makes me think when I was little I was listening to English movies and understand nothing. Should I just blindly read and listen? I follow lessons now via JapanesePod101 for free, but idk s…

Do you listen to anything with English/native subtitles? I think watching anime or other TV shows / movies with English/native subtitles will at least get you used to hearing the flow of the language. Maybe try that for a few months first? I don’t really do enough subtitle-free listening myself, but…
