Dork has her own style of name 3

I know someone that's Japanese that I'll be moving in with as a roommate in Tokyo in December for a Japanese learning class to get a student visa, and he's telling me that I basically shouldn't even waste my time doing any self-studying of Japanese. He insists that I should wait until I'm in Japan, then I'll start picking up the language like within a month. And I've tried mentioning people on the internet, like those doing subs and translations, or people here for example, and he gets pissed off and tells me that I should just "immerse" myself in the language by being in the country. He doesn't want me to do ANY studying whatsoever, just come here and start talking to the locals and listening to them. He despises the idea of me doing any studying and just keeps telling me "immersion!" despite the fact that others have learned the language without having to do that, but he thinks it'll be an actual detriment.
