I speak Japanese to a JPLT 2 level I guess you can say and You're level of Japanese is very inspiring!I have lived in Japan for a few years and I have the same problems with what I call Gaijin Otaku. They befriend you to take pictures with you like a puppy in a purse. It gets to be overwhelming but you're doing great things so keep that in mind! <br />My passion is Japanese language so I hope to be at your level soon!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388573196863818143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117540349577246706.post-30486097360149613962012-06-23T23:26:31.474+09:002012-06-23T23:26:31.474+09:00Thanks for the encouragement.

It's interesting to get some extra perspective on all this when you run into Japanese people living or traveling abroad and see how they function outside of their country... maybe I should sit down and write about that one of these days.Bobby Judohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533305201171769334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117540349577246706.post-20299625243382515512012-06-23T20:57:40.273+09:002012-06-23T20:57:40.273+09:00I lived in Osaka for 4 years in the late 80s and h...I lived in Osaka for 4 years in the late 80s and had an American friend whose Japanese was REALLY good. It obviously intimidated a lot of his Japanese colleagues. Many, many Japanese people have this inferiority/superiority complex with regard to Americans or Europeans and in their eyes their language (with all the nuances that English doesn't have) is something that supposedly makes their culture superior, so when a 'gaijin' shows any mastery of it, it strikes the ego/core of who they think they are. This kind of pettiness is hard to put up with on a daily basis!

You're not the only one to experience this though. I see it happen to Japanese born and bred celebrities, too—often on (J) variety TV. A cheap laugh takes priority over an interesting or different point of view sometimes.<br /><br />Take a break, bro.
