I feel like in a lot of instances Bunpro teaches grammar points that are very similar to each other all in a sequence one after the other (be it because they vary in small nuances or be it because they just sound very similar to each other). That, at least for me, causes A LOT of confusion and makes it a ton harder to learn them on top of building a potentially lifelong doubt about which one to use when. Tbh i feel that learning one point very well first and then introducing another one later that is slightly different lets you better capture the nuance and prevents such confusions from arising

Hi! A long time ago, all of the grammar points used to be in a fairly random order, and we had lots of people at that time that were concerned about the opposite problem of not being able to compare things when learning them. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a method that suits everybody’s unique learning style.
However, we do feel that learning certain grammar points in clusters is helpful for solidifying the concepts that underlie them, which is why the path is in its current order. For example, そう よう and みたい might seem (no pun intended) a bit tricky to learn all at once, but what we actually want you to be able to focus on is the concept of presenting supposition in its various different forms. The same can be said for polite language which is also clustered.
At the end of the day though, only you know you, so if the path really disagrees with how you like to learn, you can always add new grammar points in any order you like! I personally used to do this quite often if there were some grammar structures that looked more useful than others. Hope this helps and that you have a rockin weekend!
