George Trombley, the creator of the Japanese From Zero series. How good is his Japanese? I've only seen him speak in basic Japanese back when I was using his series and mainline youtube videos to first learn (I'm doing n3 level stuff now). I know he has some older content where he speaks fully in Japanese (like he has eigo egg which is aimed at japanese people learning english). I'm just wondering from the perspective of more advanced people or maybe natives who know about him, how good is his japanese? I find him interesting in that he's a very successful trial-and-error teach rather than someone who got a degree in Japanese Language and Linguistics or something. Until recently, he was pretty anti- JLPT and pitch accent, as he cited himself as not needing either to get high level bilingual jobs in Japan. Also his wife only speaks Japanese so I'm assuming he has at least a decent level of fluency.
