Hello, I'm new here so please excuse me if I'm breaking any rules by asking this.
I want to learn how to understand spoken Japanese. Yes, my goal for learning Japanese is to watch anime. I already have two Japanese textbooks (Japanese The Manga Way and Colloquial Japanese The Complete Course for Beginners) and I have Anki/TinyCards set up so that I can learn Japanese vocabulary. But my my main goal is not to be able to read Japanese or even construct sentences on my own yet, I primarily just want to understand the language first. I know people will say that learning how to understand first isn't the right way but when we were babies we were illiterate until 5-7 years old, so I think it's the most natural way. Anyway with that said, if I continue learning Japanese from flashcards and text books, how long would in take until I could understand the language in an anime like K-On or Pokemon (since they are said to be easy in vocabulary) without subtitles? Also, do you have any tips for auditory comprehension?
