Get a different Japanese boyfriend everyday for 300 days

 Learning a foreign language is scary so we all come up with crazy language learning strategies, like the one mentioned in the title.

Get a different Japanese boyfriend everyday for 300 days: The idea is that you will have to speak to them in Japanese or that you will hear enough Japanese you will get better at it, and the constant changing of boyfriends will let you get some variety in the language/vocabulary.

 The problem with this strategy? Well there are several, not all of us can get (or want) a Japanese boyfriend let alone 300 of them. It is just the idea behind it this strategy seems like an easy fix to learning Japanese because it is a hard language to learn. Personally I don't think this strategy will work for me.


 I personally am using a focus on your interest strategy, you find what interests you in the area or culture the language is from and you use it to help you in learning the language. For me it is music and fashion I cannot tell you how many words I've learned from watching musicals (in Japanese or other languages) and just the tangent learning episodes it has triggered.
