Hi everyone!
I have been wanting to learn Italian and Japanese for the longest time, but I simply don’t know where to start.
For context, I lived in Italy when I was a kid (for about 2 years), and did not speak a word of English. However, when I moved to England I had to learn English very quickly whilst at school. Through this, I ended up forgetting all my Italian, and only now am I wanting to re-learn it.
I can read the language with minor difficulty, and after my recent trip to Italy, I can still understand a little bit. And when forced to, I’m surprised with how I can make a decent attempt at small talk.
But I want to get back to being as fluent as can be, before I travel there again in September 2025. My problem has been that I do not know where to start.
As for Japanese, the only exposure I have is from watching anime, subbed in English. Which makes me wonder, in my learning process - when watching shows/podcasts should I turn off the subtitles in order to aid in my learning?
So for those that learnt Italian and/or Japanese from scratch, without having ever lived there, what was your plan, what resources did you use. It would be good to see an example learning plan from those that are now above intermediate to fluent.
I have Babble downloaded, but I want to get deeper into the learning process. And I did not know of an app that has Japanese as a language.
Therefore, I am very keen on knowing what are some very good, tried and tested resources as well as advice on an action plan.
