This is
exactly how I would feel if my non-Japanese friend who I knew didn't read or write Japanese sent me a letter in Japanese just because I'm Japanese.
If, however, someone that's been studying Japanese did the same, then I would feel the complete opposite and be very happy. It would make no difference how horrible the Japanese was.
