I was about to point out the same thing, also "tak tak" means "yes, yes". Also, learning from "meme posters" is a bad idea. They often intentionally misuse the language in a non-obvious way, especially if you've just started learning it.

I don't think breadth first works well with learning many languages at once. What's the point of being able to recall a few phrases in each language. Learn one until it's at a usable level.

One important thing I wanted to add that helps me a lot is: use Anki! It's the most time efficient way to memorise information.

Also, advice like this is specific to a family of languages.



Yeah. Very true. I guess memes should be taken in context with the help or under the tutelage of a native speaker.
