If I were going to learn Japanese tomorrow and were looking for such a
tool I wouldn't be actually able to even comprehend that these tools
can help me.
Sure. But that can happen regardless of the language. If I were trying
to avoid getting computer viruses how would I know that replacing
Windows with a *nix variant is an option? How do I know that I can
browse the web with "Firefox"? You need to know something about the
problem space before you can search for a tool to help you.
