In the past couple weeks, I've switched Slay the Spire to my target language. Now even my most compulsively procrastinating time gives a little practice.

It's not the greatest for intensive study (no audio, after all), but it's a great way to ease in.

  • I already know most of it just from pictures and having played a lot, so it's fun even if I'm not being a great learner
  • Quite a few cards, items, or events show up just seldom enough that I do still need to read them
  • There are tons of words I don't know, many of them at the top of the card showing a picture of the thing
  • Lots of repetition, so my brain gets the redundant exposure it needs

And besides that specific instance, I'm getting more confident overall. To the point where I feel like I won't be totally missing out on games if I try to play them in Japanese.
