      It's more of a bonus if you use keigo and shows an even higher status of respect and humility. The same can occur in English- normal polite to very polite (Applebees waiter vs Ritz carlton waiter lol)

The waitress spoke to me and I just went blank because I had no idea what was said. 😭 She very patiently helped me understand and spoke casually. I felt so bad, because her boss seemed to be upset that she spoke to me casually. 😱

    First, it is good to see that you seem to be feeling better. Second, this video REALLY helped to make more sense out of the various levels of polite speech, the explanation of the different verbs was particularly informative. In trying to learn Japanese, it’s been confusing hearing so many ways to express the same thing. This video put a lot of that information into a very compact reference that I will watch over again to help it sink in. いつもいつも有益な授業を教えてくれてありがとう!
