So you're telling me that you should learn to speak a language extremely politely before learning how to speak it normally or casually? Not to mention, speaking "polite" Japanese takes lots more elongated pronunciation, longer words, more rules, and more exceptions.

It's much easier to speak casual Japanese than it is to speak polite Japanese.
