>>13013340well not necessarily a requirement..
unfortunately
the routine seems fine especially if ur capable of studying 8 hours a day but i'm extremely skeptical of the pace. i imagine he needs much more input though realistically
just like all these videos he's probably a career ""polyglot"" with a bit of french knowledge prior to day 1, fluency in a similar language like spanish, and a massive amount of practice learning languages that accelerates his capability to learn especially at the basic level
>>13013342my point exactly
i assumed so because i recognized the guy on the left but i didn't really know for sure
i never really understood this advice to be honest. i don't think anyone who has done 0 formal studying will be able to pick out any of these words as meaning "you" in order to even make this mistake. if someone has done a little bit of studying then the fact that pronouns are impolite in japanese is quite literally one of the first things that get mentioned in any course because pronouns are really useful so anyone would naturally ask about them as soon as they could
he also fails to point out that these words all show up in anime for a reason. half the time it's just some villain being belligerent especially in the case of kisama or teme, but men in particular calling each other omae is incredibly common if they're friends.
kimi in particular is even more similar to pet names like "dear" or "baby" than "you." obviously inadvisable to use in general but it's not as if there isn't a use case for it.
and that's all missing the fact that japanese people assume anyone who isn't japanese barely understand the language at all, so if you do say something rude they don't typically get offended because the baka gaijin obviously doesn't understand a word he's saying anyway
