(safe enough bet if they're training with US forces) And you only have to cut one out from the herd! Ano... sumimasen ga, nihonjin desu ka? (brandish book) Ah, katakana wo benkyou shimasu demo totemo muzukashii desu. Tetsudaimasen ka? onega~~i. (bat eyelids) It's ages before you understand what's said back unfortunatly. I tend to just smile and nod and they think I understand most of the time. :lol: Then I plow ahead with something and eventually they get the idea I'm either an idiot or have no great command of their language. But you have to have some trust in the kindness of strangers. What would you do if someone with limited English started to try to talk with you? You'd give them a break. To be honest if I met twenty Japanese women in an airport I probably wouldn't talk to them.:oops: Maybe not twenty Japanese guys either. Vicky-san

I think I would have been too scared to talk to 20 guys in Japanese. When I go to little tokyo I tell people i don't understand Japanese at all. The only native speakers I talk to occasionaly are my friends who go to the language school. They tell me that I don't speak naturally. =) anyone can sing though!
