What is the english translation of the above

Lately, I've noticed that it's become somewhat "impropper" to use any word ending in -man (i.e. chairman, fireman, policeman, etc), but replacing the suffix with -person. Doesn't it get kinda tiresome to add another syllable to the end of a word? And why are people using "him or her" where "him" would suffice? I thought that when one refers to a person (like a child or coworker for example), it's best to use "him". As an example: "Instead of telling your child how to do a math problem, why not step him or her through it?" Doesn't that read harder than, "Instead of telling your child how to do a math problem, why not step him through it?" I think English was fine before those changes came around.

(Yes, there are legit questions in here ;)

I am trying to learn the Japanese language, and I want to know what your benefits are for learning the language. I am self-learning, and I have a well-known software that is going to help me through it.

After you learned how to read, write, and understand Japanese, what were your benefits and how long did it take you to learn it?

I'm interested in East Asian languages, so please give me insight on learning the Japanese language and learning the language as a whole.

I heard in the song "one song glory" from "RENT", he says something about a "pretty boy front man" and after thinking about it, I realized i didnt actually know what the literal definition for a pretty boy was. Anyone know?
