This is not an easy time to find an immersive Japanese study environment unless you already happen to be in Japan. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the country has closed its doors to tourists as well as new students and workers. Even if you¡¯re in Japan, close contact with others is not advisable.

All is not lost, though. Thanks to the internet, we can create our own immersive experience. Recently, I¡¯ve found that no app provides an easier, more addictive interface than TikTok, a video-sharing app that has exploded in popularity over the past year.

By curating a set of Japanese creators on your timeline, you can study the language in one-minute bursts. Just try not to get too distracted by the singing and dancing along the way.
