You can certainly get faster answers now, but does that mean better learning? Or does the time spent with a problem, looking up characters by radicals, provide a better foundation? My gut says it’s the latter, but I don’t honestly know.

There's so much to learn with Japanese, from the kanji, to the vocabulary, to the grammar--that efficiency trumps all else. Especially if you also have a full-time job or something else that demands your time, like a family. People still value face-to-face communication and fluency, too.

I make my Japanese coworkers laugh with linguistic jokes I make up myself on the spot. Google can't do that. The multilingual Japanese office can be a lot of fun.

Speaking of the multilingual Japanese office, gotta go back there now!
