Jap man (expat) working here > very little conversation.

Jap ladies living here > so so. Maybe they are scared of my yakuza face. They will open up more if I tried harder though.

Those cute girls > They are very happy to have someone they can communicate with. I wish I could work day time so can be their tour guide :)

Jap man on biz trip > I always engage in interesting conversation with them. Broad topics

Jap ladies on biz trip > wahlau this one can even tell you their whole life stories.

Actually Poolman is right.

They feel a little superior when they can speak good english. Not all though but yeah, many Japs feel this way. They feel a little insulted when u speak broken jap. U can forget about practising ur jap on them. Make sure when u can open ur mouth, u can speak polite proper jap.

I dunno how many time I kanna from them for speakign broken jap during the time when I started to learn the language.

So now, unless that guy dunno english or speak only a little, I dun open my mouth to speak jap. Feel embarass....lol..........
