Understood a whole anime scene with no subtitles today

Three months ago I couldn't tell where one word ended and the next began. Today a full scene of Frieren just... landed. No subs. I rewound it twice because I didn't believe myself. Nothing fancy. Just reps. An hour a day of input, dual subs at first, then I started peeking less. That's it. If you're at the part where it all sounds like one long noise — keep going. The machine is still in your head, it just needs hours.
