And having to learn the meaning of words like “sophomore” as American English is now being taught in Japan.

Immersion certainly is useful but given that Japanese has nothing linguistically in common with English it ends up being really frustrating. You hear the sounds and the words all the time and they are meaningless. Eventually you switch off and hear nothing at all.

Though I was getting annoyed at having to talk about my college campus.
