Language Collecting is the practice of gathering words and phrases from real life (like shows, conversations, or music) so learning feels natural, exciting, and deeply personal — helping you grow fluent through curiosity, not force.

How I discovered the KEY to learn languages

I (should’ve) had an easy time learning Spanish…

BOTH my parents speak Spanish…

My mom tried to teach me since I was little…

I took 4 years of classes in school…

And I even spent a few years learning Spanish on my own…

But I was never able to ‘speak‘ the language.

I Failed.

So I gave up…and learned Japanese Instead!

Yes, I gave up Spanish to learn a much MUCH harder language.

They funny thing is…

I had an easier time learning Japanese than I ever had learning Spanish.

Weird, right?

But I was stuck with Spanish.

I didn’t know what I was doing wrong.

By all means, I did everything right…

• I picked up the textbooks people recommended.
• I tried all the apps people swear by.
• I even took classes and hired a tutor.

Nothing worked.

So I thought, “How about I try learning a language I know NOTHING about?”

That’s how I started learning Japanese.

(I wasn’t even into anime at the time – so truly starting from zero – well…other than knowing the words Sushi and Domo arigato Mr Roboto)

Japanese showed me the JOY of Learning Languages

When I started learning Japanese – Everything was different.

I still remember the joy I had learning a few new new things in Japanese.

When I found a new word – I got excited…

While watching shows – I pulled out phrases…

When I learned anything new – I simply had a BIG SMILE on my face.

I was a collector.

(even if I didn’t know it at the time)

I spent and embarrassing amount of time collecting from Anime.

But this was the best stuff.

Because I’d get a deeper connection.

There’s action…

There’s emotion…

It makes you feel something.

So every time I go back and listen to these clips again, I remember the exact feeling and story behind that phrase.

This gives you something NO textbook and NO course – could ever give you.

The App I Made for Language Collectors

When I was learning Japanese, there were a lot of small tedious things I did…

• I cut out audio clips…
• Copied and pasted a ton of text…
• Managed +16,000 flashcards…
• Organized all of these terms and phrases into decks…
• Used editing software to record and compare myself with the original audio…
• Manually found different content I could learn from…
• And more…

I wanted to pack up everything I did into 1 app: Mezasu.com
