What is the AJATT Endgame? INTERVIEWING GEORGE IN KOREA

Enjoyed listening to this. Honestly I think the endgame, should be to just live life smoothly in Japan and be able to use Japanese at a decent level in the workplace if needed, not perfection or 'native level' because that's a massive time sink. I especially agree with the end part that you should draw a line when you're fluent and pivot into something else. I assume that most hardcore learners/ajatters are aiming to work and live in Japan at some point, but it's a trap to only focus on Japanese. I can't stress enough to the youngsters thinking of doing ajatt that you want to work on a marketable skill as well because Japanese isn't a skill in Japan, everyone speaks, reads and writes it natively. The harsh reality is that even after a couple years of ajatt, while you may be fluent, you still won't be able to perform to the level as a native japanese person in the workplace, which is a disadvantage long-term career wise. If your goal is to live and work in Japan, you really want to offer some sort of value to the job market (not english teaching or translation), so you can have a job with a good WLB and decent pay and actually enjoy life in Japan and not earn peanuts and have to work overtime so you can pay the bills. Just my 2c as a guy who made some stupid mistakes lol.

Some of my favorite guys from the immersion learning community! Great interview guys! (Shiro aka Kiritsu)

Tell em George. Tell em how good they have it 😁 The tools are very mature and the whole ecosystem of immersing with Japanese is a lot easier to dive into. But this is changing as the tools get better. My favorite is Kimchi Reader. It's the best Korean learning tools for immersion learners. It parses the language better than every tool out there, makes it really easy to read stuff or look up words on vodeos on mobile and computer. I'm a huge shill for it because I don't have to think about it anymore or get dragged down by process. I just immerse. I like Korean YouTube though. I'm a big YouTube guy.

Congrats on 1000 subs

NEW ROOM DROP

Redpill is absolutely wholesome. Who is the Japanese face of redpill? I'm interested. Also bro, I hope your channel blows up. Your takes are very balanced. How has learning Japanese affected your personality or were you always to cool calm and collected?

As someone who is new to the ajatt method, how many hours did you guys usually immerse a day? 4-5 hours? With breaks?

The red pill self-development stuff is so cringe. Mostly pseudo-science and culture war nonsense. At least it was when I watched and read it 5+ years ago. Long form content about complex topics is interesting though.
