Summary
He humorously tests Rosetta Stone Japanese, repeating basic words and sentences while exaggerating confidence in his pronunciation. After roughly two years watching anime before studying Japanese, he finds the lesson repetitive, boring, and fails its core lesson. A leaking boiler prevents showering; he waits indefinitely for a repair worker and blames upstairs stomping for possible boiler damage.
Insight
Language-learning enthusiasm quickly collapses into boredom, while ongoing apartment maintenance and noise problems continue undermining daily life.
