>>7613977Not 100% correct with all of them. Befriended a Japanese guy on social after talking in the comment section of a post. Found out he likes wrestling too and hit it off. Also found out he has an older sister and began talking to her too since the lockdown, and I'm thinking I'm in now with her.
>>7613968OP I recommend just learning very basic verbs and nouns, and practice listening skills to the point where you can understand it, and if you befriend actual japanese people you will learn it quicker even if it is online, webcam chatting would be recommended to have better interactions. Good luck.
