    Politics are politics and people are people. That’s the message I want to spread. As our governments fight and bicker with each other we cannot forget this point. I can’t make very many of these supermarket videos nowadays, but I took every precaution possible to do this video safely in my Tokyo neighborhood today and get this message out. Please stay safe and keep fighting my friends. -Anming

      @iFireender 4 года назад +8

      The thing you need to get over is a certain 'hump' as an adult. As a kid, your language skills in your own language are limited too, so you can express yourself freely way earlier, and learn the more complicated stuff as you grow up more. As an adult, to express yourself how you want to express yourself, you need to get to a level where you can do that, which is considerably higher than a kid's. Once you're over that hump, going from that level to fluency is simply a matter of using the language more. At that point, you can freely use monolingual dictionaries, ask people about words you don't understand and will understand their explanations and so on.
