Interacting to the language here does not means you have to have someone to talk with through. Reflect over what you heard and especially read through all sorts of textbook/guideline would definitely helps your study. Would be even much easier if you already knows a similar language. However the case of Japanese is much more complex if you try to learn it through anime if you only have English background, since the order of grammar (verb, qualify noun) are opposite to that of English. And there is all short of verb form, short, formal, keigo, ect to make the situation more complex as well
