> Sometimes I just don't feel like I understand r/LearnJapanese. How does someone spend 4 years studying Japanese without trying to use native materials? And how can you suddenly be surprised to find out that you can't actually understand them?

>Do people really expect that just taking a few course hours of Japanese classes for a few years will make them fluent?

>I really don't get it. When I started taking Japanese class, there was much less information on the internet, but it was immediately obvious to me, just by trying to watch a tv show for kids, that classes alone weren't going to make me anything close to fluent by the time I graduated.

You mustn't worry, sir. There are thousands of languages programmed into my neo-cortex, Japanese included. It just seems to me that this place is quite... well, humorous.
