Oh wow - thanks! The perfective is something I didn't study before I went, and I learned it from primarily hearing it in the negative (e.g. 宿題をまだやっていない?! - mom to her kids). So, I was kind of familiar with the perfective but this crystalized it for me. I didn't know the 言っている nuances either.
That video is so helpful - thanks for linking!!

Thanks!! Yes, I am a native English speaker.
Oh I never thought about resource richness! Thanks.
I want something to say when my other language-learning friends talk about how hard/easy XYZ language is. For example, for easy parts: - No genders - Easy vowels/consonants For difficulties: - Kanji - Formality Please help? Thanks! Edit: summary of comments for my future reference: Easier: - no genders - resource rich for learning - simpler tenses Easy and hard: - pronunciation (consistent, but accent hard to eliminate) - grammar (consistent but different) Harder: - Kanji (like icons) - formality
