It has a lot going for it, though the online presence seems at times to be dominated be rather obsessive young men who spend too much time on computers and reading anime (my prejudice perhaps ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). I have to say, though, I find explicit explanations (for me through self study study) hugely helpful. I totally agree we all need huge amounts of listening and reading practice.

I think it is the way to go, if you have got enough time (which I haven’t).
