I also wanted to make a point that reading books won't make you fluent
I'll only render some help to those who want to brush up their already developed skill in the language

I believe this to be wrong. I know a significant number of people who literally learned a language just by reading books and watching videos.

To be huyonest.
I wonder why so many people pretend being natives. (o;TωT)o
I met a cute Japanese girl. She is only 75% filipina. She calls herself a lipstick lesbian.  Her husband is Turk. But she wants to make a baby with someone else.
Tbh, people can't be honest even to themselves. As for me, watching TV series is more useful than talking to random people.

Also, can someone in this itt thread explain the meaning of this word? >>>A friend

It depends on your ability to memorize though we did not learn our native language this way
