>>31905851Japanese is one of the harder language to learn, even people that have been living in Japan for years have trouble with it. Its easier to learn other roman scripts when you speak english. And considering she's probably just doing like 4 hours or maybe even being generous 6 hours a week of studying i struggle to see any real improvement.
And i'm not trying to be an ass, just realistically speaking. Going from latin script to kana and kanji is a fucking nightmare, same for arabic script.
The problem with the "conversation partners" is that doing it on a stream setting while trying to be entertaining would be contra productive. You need more than one hour, with constant boring repetition and focus. Not make a game show out of it. Also using your friends/coworkers as unpaid teachers is kind of a dick move. Just get a teacher and converse with them, which i hope its what she's doing.
