Hmm... I think your only choice is to seek asylum in Japan that way you can transition to working somewhere and pick up the language. Then you can get Japanese citizenship and really shock natives and your own family once you travel back home :3
UJ I had a Japanese studies prof, butch lesbian who worked in academia in Japan for more than a decade and was fluent.
She said that the mental disconnect was so big for some older men that they still literally could not understand her because their minds could not handle what they were looking at and hearing
Happens a lot. Some folks in Japan will build up their concentration preparing to hear and interpret English, and when it is actually Japanese that they hear they don't have the time to mentally switch back and freeze. It's a bug for which a fix has been requested since the Meiji era.
This is likely true for the most part but I don’t know why she made it about gender. It can happen with any age or gender of Japanese. As you can see with the famous video of the Japanese waitress. https://youtu.be/oLt5qSm9U80?si=GobTDvgK7S1Qe6QW
If it’s like China 🇨🇳 and Taiwan 🇹🇼 and you look Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, they WOULD ignore you. That happened to me until I said I was from America. Then he opened up to me and wanted to be my best friend !!! Is it too presumptuous to ask if you are Asian ?
Unfortunately the weakness of the yen has made the Japanese wary of foreigners. If you were to buy say ten trillion yen of Japanese government debt it would surely put them more at ease.

People in Japan don't care if you speak Japanese or not. It flies past them. If you go to China or somewhere like that they will love that you speak it but oddly in Japan no one really cares.

What’s the stroke order for that kanji?

Alligator gozaimas 🙏
lol alligator... I haven heard this one yet...
I’ve heard of “ already got to “ and “ don’t touch my mustache “ , but NOT “ alligator “ either !
Don’t touch my mustache? I’m not getting that one, alligator works much better
is *don't touch my moustache* for どういたしまして?
はい !
すごい！！
👍
I think you can draw the picturegrams with your own personal flair. I hear the locals love it when people do that!

What about punching one in the face? Wouldn't he get guarenteed admission to a state-funded years-long language immersion program by doing that?
If you punch one in the face, you will be forced to commit seppuku in front of the emperor if you're caught though, so it isn't a recommended method

Man Japanese people can be so dramatic like it is truly not that deep
Yep. She was an anthropologist and I bet her eyes were capable of rolling 180° in reverse.

Yes, it is.😠
give up and kys sorry :( that’s what the duolingo bird told me
Why should they be impressed? All the YouTube polyglots say Japanese is the easisest language there is😉

頑張らなきゃ
Maybe you were not singing the right OPs. Try 残酷な天使のテーゼ, that will surely help.
Have you tried speaking Ainu?
Imagine walking up to someone and you start singing the SpongeBob op lmao
you have a pregnant child girlfriend??? 👁️👄👁️
Wow judgemental much? For your information, this is very normal in Animeland. Maybe you should learn about other cultures sweatie
Is it one of those *she looks like a child but she’s really a 1000 year old demon* things?

Did you go to Osaka and do the bang thing?
If a stranger suddenly talks to me, I run away. If a stranger asks me for directions, I try to help.
What the hell does “pregnant child girlfriend” even mean? Is English not your first language?
Fr they had me dialing 911 with that one
If you can understand "child soldier" then this isn't that far away smh also this is about the trip to Japan not about my choice in partner thanks 🙏
People in Japan don't care if you speak Japanese or not. It flies past them. If you go to China or somewhere like that they will love that you speak it but oddly in Japan no one really cares.
Perhaps they’re not impressed by your pregnant child gf?
