2019/3/20. English vs Japanese language
Listening English is like reading Japanese, because both of them needs batch processing in brain.
Batch processing in brain is sequential process.
Listening English needs serving 1 words or 1 phrase in working memory.
Reading Japanese needs same things, too. And listening Japanese needs different skill, Japanese language is consisting from 1 sound, and 1 word is from some sounds.
Japanese characters has special shapes, not sounding only.

I prefer reading Japanese rather than listening it. It may means I am good at listening English.
And learning English by Japanese is difficult by this point. Japanese people who prefer reading Japanese, also prefer reading English. And they want to study by reading English. But it will be difficult for them because of the difference between reading Japanese and English.
The studying English method is listening for readers in Japanese language, and reading for listeners in Japanese language.
