The バーツ Method

The バーツ Method breaks every rule you think you know about language learning by putting listening

first and delaying everything else until your ears are trained . Stage 1 A is for

total beginners and it sounds counterintuitive but you never touch a textbook or study kana deliberately

. Instead you spend your first 90 days doing pure listening immersion with anything

with native audio . Your only active study is creating audio sentence cards

in Anki where you listen to a sentence , try to hear the sounds ,

then flip to see what you heard . No reading the sentence first . No trying to speak

it . Most methods start with writing systems but this causes subvocalization
