@Trippersigs22 : Why are you reading only the half of what I'm writing ? I wrote a whole paragraph about the "coOk mY OwN mEAlS" part, you'd have noticed it if you payed attention.
Also, am I really the only person on earth who got troubles with learning any kind of new languages ? You make it seem like it's a piece of cake, I don't think so. Don't make me believe that you can just get some Duolingo-like app to learn a language easily because it's not the case. To learn a language, you need to read it A LOT, you need to speak it, you need to listen to it. You also need free time to seriously practice and learn vocabulary, and most importantly to learn how to read moonrunes. The "importantest" thing is the will to learn Japanese, obviously.
As well as many other people here, I have a job and I do things that I like in my free time : learning moonrunes isn't something I like. Even though I forced myself to learn it, "30 minutes of your free time a day" wouldn't even be remotely enough to learn such a complete language as Japanese is, it would take me way more than 3 or 4 years to even read and understand a raw manga.
"LITERALLY BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BIlNIGUAL" ---> Indeed, bilingual as in "English/French", "English/Spanish", "English/German", etc etc. You know why ? Because english is easy as fuck for someone living in occidental countries. On the other hand, look at the average english level in Japan : Outstangingly horrible, there's a reason why it's called Engrish. Japanese people can't learn english without ton of efforts because english is a totally different language with different syntax, vocabulary, a whole different culture and writing as well. Guess what, it's the same on the opposite way.
So yeah, to sum this up, I allow you to call me a lazy prick since I don't want to spend years and ton of efforts in order to read the end of "Tensei Pandemic". And I allow myself to call you an ignorant lad since you think learning one of the most difficult languages to learn for occidental people is simple as sugar cookies.

"You're comparing the effort that it takes to learn basic guitar playing to the effort and resources it takes to build a modern home with your bare hands. They just aren't the same and to compare the two is beyond ridiculous." ---> Hold on, I didn't say that ?
