I don't think I'll ever be able to truly watch a TV show and understand anything more than a general overview of the plot. The language just doesn't form properly in my brain, the sentences seem jumbled and putting it altogether at natural native speed is utterly impossible for me. Sometimes I recognise every word in a sentence and still have no clue what it means. I'm not a part-time learner either, I do this for hours every day and I've been studying for over a year now. I frequently feel like I know nothing.

In English's case (for us Japanese and any other non-native of English), it could also be "certain ethnic group".
I'm not too sure which J-Pod character you have difficulties to understand, マイケルsan, but if you remember the
name or lesson numbers, please feel free to let us know. It could also be because of the way the character speaks.
Oh, and マイケルsan, it's never late to start anything![]()
I admire your spirit of starting new thing even if you wonder if it was too late.![]()

Actually, at first I couldn't even read the pictures--at least, not until I eventually realised that Japanese books start at the other end and work in the opposite direction...
