*offers biscuits* At least you're aware it's a thing even if you don't necessarily have a name for it and try to acknowledge it as existing? That's more than a lot of people do.

Ouch. That really doesn't sound like a lot of space. Are they entirely blank or do they have squares like in this notebook?

*ruffles hair* I'm sorry I didn't know how to make it clearer. You knit, I think? I think I remember you talking about knitting projects you were working on. If you do, perhaps try to think of it as similar to learning how to knit. People usually start off with something easy to learn the basics of the craft and then gradually move on to more difficult patterns and stitching, don't they? Second language teaching is a little like that: you start people off with the basics and then gradually make it more difficult.

Mmm... If you decide to look it up elsewhere, I recommend keeping it as passive knowledge for the time being. The (admittedly few) English sites I've seen tend to gloss over the grammatical nuances of pronouns in general as well as ignore the fact that Japanese pronouns aren't used quite the same as English pronouns.
