The language learning community in general is a goddamn cesspool - and you're not wrong that its filled with jews and feminists (and other brands of degenerates). You end up with the faggots who know the basic greeting phrases and think that makes them almost fluent (or worse, the "polyglot" crowd which is fucking *rampant* online on places like jewtube where they get ego kibbles because they can say "Hello" in 15 languages), the smug sanctimonious cunts that will correct *every single small mistake you make* (despite the fact they're often outright wrong, or native speakers don't even bat an eye if you make that mistake), and the degenerates who think they can use the community to push whatever brand of mental illness they have into every aspect of the experience. I'm not learning Japanese but I've spent the last couple of years learning my husband's native language. I've personally dealt with all three of those categories of fuckwits during the process, and many stories from that. I found the best way to learn was to learn the basics, then fling yourself into conversations with a patient native speaker and ban yourself from speaking English as much as possible. As a result, I can have a proper conversation entirely in the language now. I'm not fluent, but I'm a damn lot closer than the majority of those fuckwits in the "learning community". Are you still learning Japanese after your studies? How far along have you come since finishing the course? I have a website for language learning resources (not just for Japanese but for a whole heap of languages) which I came across some time ago. PM me if you're in need of some more stuff resource-wise. Same goes for anyone else who reads this - if you're interested in learning a foreign language and want some resources.
