This is a collection of Japanese lessons that don’t rely on translation. Instead, it shows a picture to establish a concept, then builds on that.

It’s based on the ideas behind Lingue Latina Per Se Illustrata (LLPSI).

I don’t know how useful this is compared to other methods, but I think it’s a neat thing to check out.

        Dreaming Spanish. It’s an online video based approach, but their very early stage lessons basically do what the OP was talking about, in video form. They’ll tell a story about a kid who goes on an excursion at school and gets up to mischief, and they’ll flash in pictures and drawings to make sure you understand the context of what they’re saying.

        The further you get in to it, the less they use images and drawings, but in the early stages, they’re a core part of the system

        Speaking from my own experience, I would say it’s effective, but not fast, but leads to better results in the end.

        None of that is why I use it though. I simply enjoy it more this way.
