This only makes me dislike the AJATT guy even more. What an unbelievable strawman!

More power to anyone who can learn fluency using the AJATT method, but every time someone mentions it, and I check out the site, I can't find anything concrete about learning languages. It's just an endless series of explanabrags and platitudes.

Honestly,you can't learn Japanese from anything!
