Hi, I've tried looking for a while, but I haven't been able to find very many Japanese shows or movies with Japanese subtitles; everything seems to have English subtitles. The only thing I was able ...

When I review recognition sentences, though, it doesn't actually seem like I'm learning. For example, I can easily recognize the meaning of たたむ in 帆をたため! because 1. I've seen that sentence many times...
