That sounds impressive! Give playing in japanese a try maybe? I’ve noticed I really enjoy being sometimes thrown into the deep end and not understanding everything. It motivates me to learn even more if I don’t understand but I want to :)
I was thinking the other day how it reminds me of the same feeling I had playing some games as a kid.
There was that timeframe where I could read (in English), but it was very much conscious effort - so I’d be lazy and ignore text when possible, and there’d be lots I had no hope of deciphering.
It leads to this sense of mystery and wonder, where you have no idea what’s going on but you appreciate when you do find a clue in the words. Bit by bit you start to understand.
