Do you feel like it's pretty effective and enjoyable?
Speaking from my own experience, I would say it's effective, but not fast, but leads to better results in the end.
None of that is why I use it though. I simply enjoy it more this way.
May I ask what resources you use for Spanish?
Dreaming Spanish. It's an online video based approach, but their very early stage lessons basically do what the OP was talking about, in video form. They'll tell a story about a kid who goes on an excursion at school and gets up to mischief, and they'll flash in pictures and drawings to make sure you understand the context of what they're saying.
The further you get in to it, the less they use images and drawings, but in the early stages, they're a core part of the system
Community link: !japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz, because for some reason Lemmy/Voyager still doesn't do that right.
Curious if folks in this community have tried LLPSI style-resources, and if they worked for you? Also, feel free to link or mention similar resources for your target languages.
