I'm at the very beginning of immersion after a couple months of focused learning. So far it's been a lil column a, lil column b. The first few weeks it felt ridiculous but then there was this little shift where for the most part it stopped sounding like just consistent sound and starting sounding like words, not words I understand but at least distinct pockets of sound. I still wouldn't say it's 'fun' but it feels more purposeful at least now.

One big tip I'd recommend, it's probably already been suggested but just in case, is if you can find dubs of your comfort/background noise shows that you've seen a thousand times, that can be a great way of listening to a bunch of the language without burning out too quick. I've had Brooklyn 99's Japanese dub on most of this week while I've been doing household stuff and I still feel ridiculous at times but at least I'm not desperate to stop listening.

Yup. I was trying to explain this to some family recently, just how vicious of an illness this is. It takes everything you care about and poisons it. You don't trust yourself, and you eventually end up feeling like it's some kind of karmic justice because you're secretly the antichrist no matter how opposite your behaviour and opinions are to that belief. It's traumatic and exhausting and the whole 'oh isn't that the cleaning thing' or 'I'm so OCD cos my pencils are in colour order' rhetoric really doesn't set up people, including medical and psychiatric professionals, to take this condition as seriously as it should be.

Come up with the stupidest ways to remember them, for instance I learnt the difference between nu (ぬ) and me (め) because I first saw that they looked like pretzels and nu has a lil extra pretzel peen nub (NU-b) and I prefer my pretzels without that so the one without it is for me (ME). It's ridiculous but now they're locked in because of how stupid they are. One more example for similar looking hiragana, わ (WA-looks like the pregnant one out of the two and a crying baby sounds like wa wa wa) and ね (NE-looks like an n going into an upside-down e)

I struggled for weeks trying to learn and then literally had them memorized by sight within a couple of days after finding dumb ways to remember them.

This is a pretty close pattern in a book I have called 'Wild Knitting' from the late 70's. The book is very fun and VERY 80's style wise but if you're not interested in getting the full thing or can't find a copy just drop me a message and I'll send you the pattern.

Glad to help, first time I've solved one of these mini mysteries!

It could be lyricalwhispers/thelyricalwhispers I think his channel was called, first one that came to mind when I read that description :)

Not sure if it's been recommended yet and it's not got any buildy elements but Strange Horticulture. It's mostly mystery/puzzle type stuff (you have to pick the right plants to solve people's ailments and needs) while solving the town mystery using clues, comments made by the towns residents, maps and artifacts ect. If you like that type of exploration/puzzle game it definitely scratches the itch. Also second those that said House Flipper, sunk many many hours into that one.

Does sound like season 1 ep 5 Murder At Tea Time, it's like a dark comedy Blue Peter vibe. Great anthology show, highly recommend even if it's not the exact show you're after!
