How much hours would you estimate did you watch (I assume it was video, not just audio) in those years? What kind of material? Just curious.



Mostly anime. Surprisingly, not that much, I think somewhere in the ballpark of 100 titles. In the beginning I was also watching some grammar tutorials on YouTube to get started with grammar quicker (Otherwise convergence on solution would be too slow).

Contrary to what I said I actually did use dictionaries, but the point I was trying to make is rather than memorizing phrases in advance, I used it to translate something I thought I heard.
