In this half-serious, half-joking video essay I compare the act of learning a language to Metroidvania style video games. It's a collections of ideas about language learning, advice I would give to my former self and relatable stories and motivation(?) to fellow language learners.

The language I study is Japanese so a lot of my points relate to that but I feel the general comments apply to all language learning. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and maybe identify with some of the experiences mentioned.
