For a really quick start, give this video a watch if you have t already.

We have this thread for listing good beginner content that is frequently added to and I recommend perusing it for a bit https://discord.com/channels/778787713012727809/1023440478475141180

You immerse by immersing. That's it. In all seriousness though, watch this:

Damn it.
I was beaten to it.
nimble barn
lol
topaz remnant
Well, to add to it, you can try to watch things that you've seen before in English or things that you've seen using English subs.
nimble barn
like anime
topaz remnant
Well duh.
Yeah, pretty much.
If you haven't yet, it's probably a good idea to find a way to set up ASBPlayer.
nimble barn
ok
topaz remnant
You can use it to get Japanese subs on streamed videos.
snow crane
anime is particularly good if you like it because the community has created so many good resources to improve the experience of immersing with it and make it more worth your while for basically any level of progress
topaz remnant
If you can get this working, you should be good.
However, if you're too lazy (which makes sense cuz setting up everything is kind of annoying task, so I don't blame you), you can use animelon.
topaz remnant
If you want to, you can also use animelon.
Animelon is a bit limited in terms of its anime selection though.
nimble barn
so do i download the anime i wanna use
nimble barn
do i need to unzip or can i just extract
snow crane
if you're using asbplayer yeah you need to download the subtitles
then you click and drag them into the video player
check kitsunekko.net to see if theyve got some on there for what you wanna watch
nimble barn
ok so i downloaded the anime i want but theres still no subtitles
nimble barn
Follow the tutorial.
what do i do
topaz remnant
what do i do
Follow the tutorial.
Like, idk what you want me to say.
Which bit are you stuck on specifically?
topaz remnant
Get into call and stream your screen
nimble barn
hold up i think i got this imma just check that i got the right settings and chrome tab thing
its workin but theres no dictionary thing
topaz remnant
You need to install yomichan as a separate program.
snow crane
https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/
The dictionary is yomichan, browser extension
snow crane
do you have dictionaries installed
nimble barn
no how do i do that
snow crane
the site i linked explains what to do and has some dictionaries linked, for now you can get jmdict. Save it somewhere, don't unzip it, and import it in yomichan
you can worry about getting more varied and up-to-date dictionaries later on once you've got everything set up
snow crane
you're fine with jmdict off that list for now
Jmnedict is a name dictionary, kireicake you can safely ignore, kanjidic is basically more or less what it says on the tin, and innocent corpus is a frequency list
Just add the language you're most comfortable with using you don't need them all
nimble barn
ok i did it
snow crane
once you've got yomichan installed and dictionaries imported, hover over text while holding the scan key to use the pop-up dictionary
nimble barn
okkkk ty
