Of course, I know everyone says don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Your grammar doesn’t have to be perfect, you just need to communicate.

So nothing demotivates me and pisses me off more than when you get a response of “wtf” to a small error, as if you were speaking in tongues.

Like, actually, your Japanese does have to be perfect, sorry.

What is Japanese like as a language for swearing?

English is supremely flexible in this area so I'm curious if that extends to other languages? 🙂🤷‍♂️

What's the Japanese for something like:

"Fuck off you judgemental arsehole".

It might be a useful phrase to have sorted out in advance 🙂🤷‍♂️

You said a to instead of a te and seemingly the whole ̶W̶o̶r̶d̶ ̶S̶e̶n̶t̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ conversation is complexly and utterly incomprehensible. apparently no idea what on earth you’re saying 😑
