I fully agree with you Nyororin, it has been completely overblown. I think they are missing the point of what I am getting at. For example, yesterday I was asking my friend why when you say "I have a few CD's" you use 少し as opposed to 少ない. It was a good thing I asked because I was having trouble distinguishing that 少ない is an adjective as opposed to 少し being an adverb. If I didn't ask why, I would have surely gone to the exam and gotten this wrong, absolutely no question about it. In regards to kirakira's point of asking those unnecessary questions, yes of course I would never care about the reason of those little meaningless details, that's overblown. I can somewhat see what KyleGoetz is getting at, but with all due respect, language learning at 1 is not exactly the same at 19. If it was, then we'd all learn it quickly.
