The biggest thing is having fun and staying consistent and believing it.Yeah it definitely requires commitment. I should have done what you did and immersed myself in the language and bought Japanese games and movies. I was more immature back then (if you can believe that) and didn't take it as serious as I wish now that I would have.
In Dec 2014 I started and i used to say " How the hell do you even read this bullshyt?!?" to now "Okay what does this word mean??" and looking it up in Japanese.
I'm about to ramp up though. It's been past 18 months and I'm not at the level I want to be.
