it doesn't work for anyone until it does
have you heard of Zipfs law? its the postulation that when observations (e.g., words) are ranked by their frequency, the frequency of a particular observation is inversely proportional to its rank. it occurs on a lot of things mind you, not just words, and it is actually very helpful to understanding how immersion and generally, human minds work
see, for a sentence to be coherent and have meaning to another human being, it must follow certain rules
if i say car is red, that means something. if i say car is gravity, that does not.
in other words, every word one says limits what every other word can be
the point of this is that our minds instinctively understand this (have you ever completed someone elses sentences, or predicted what someone is going to say, for example?)
eventually youll be able to do that with japanese, too. the reason you cant do so yet is that your mind doesn't have sufficient samples yet to know what goes after what, and what does not, or what the cause effect relationship of all of those things is
tldr: when you listen/read enough, youll just understand things like you do in english, with relatively little effort.
>no not me im retarded!
this is empirically wrong, if you were unable to understand language, if your mind did not work in this way, we would be unable to communicate to begin with.

you just don't have enough samples yet, and sadly theres no way to get around that, minds require a ton of context to work, and you don't have it yet.

just read, listen, fap, vbijin, whatever in japanese more, and before you notice, the meaningless sounds will have meaning and substance
good luck bro
