Pros

- Ajatt is absolutely amazing for improving but do try to slowly increase the amount of time spent so you don't burn out quickly.
- AJATT is perfectly fine once you have a base imo.

Cons

- I did AJATT in my teens, but I did it WRONG. I had the impression that all I had to do was immerse and it would one day magically click. It set me up for good habits now, but it was useless then.

- Before committing to full-on AJATT I think you need to do a bit of a sanity check on your commit level to this, because AJATT is...a lot.

I don't think one **needs** to do AJATT or that the categorical premise behind AJATT (literally not even allowed to use English with your friend or family, etc) is a reasonable one. But I think AJATT has the right idea **as long as you compartmentalize** it to specific hobbies.

I did AJATT in my teens, but I did it WRONG. I had the impression that all I had to do was immerse and it would one day magically click. It set me up for good habits now, but it was useless then.

AJATT (All Japanese All The Time), MIA (Mass Immersion Approach), Refold is the company co-founded by Matt versus Japan which serves mainly as a guide for language learning. In essence, all of these put emphasis on getting massive amounts of input and exposure to your target language to acquire it.
