day to day, yes fine, you can practice to talk with a bum. but learning a language is more than just talking.
i think grammar and vocabulary comes first and then only comes pronunciation. if you know how to build sentences correctly and change times then people will understand you far better rather than speaking correctly and not knowing the correct grammar.

and i don't believe that a bum would be up to the task. teaching isn't so simple as speaking the language. you yourself need to know how and why things work the way they do and a god damn bum won't be able to teach you that. if they could they wouldn't be bums now would they?
