None of these exchanges were due to a lack of my language ability. I knew what I was saying. If a Japanese person's English is better than an English speaker's Japanese, then go ahead. That's why a large majority of gaijins can't speak Japanese; because they make friends who speak better English. But my experiences weren't like that.
