@learning_yohei It depends on the ability of the teacher and the dedication of the student. Some English teachers are fluent, some can barely speak coherently. Focus on learning the spoken language, especially common phrases, before trying to learn to read English.

日本からこんにちは🇯🇵👋
アメリカ人に質問があります🇺🇸🙋
ほとんどの日本人は英語が話せません😢
でもみんな英語を勉強してるし、日本にはアメリカからの文化がたくさん入ってきて、英語に触れる機会もたくさんあります🇺🇸
でも、どうしてほとんどの日本人は英語を話せないの？😳

@LoneStarAvenge1 @donguriweb I tried takoyaki in Nara, Japan, but it was still so hot when I started eating it that it burned my mouth so badly that I couldn't taste it. I was so sad.

@tanpukunokami Be careful about how physically close you get to strangers--Americans really value personal space. Most Americans instinctively keep about an arm's length away from people they don't know. That distance might be a bit less in large cities, and a bit more in rural areas.

My American friends.
One day I hope to make it out to the States and experience your country firsthand.
Before I do, there’s something I’d love to hear from you.
What are some things tourists do that come across as rude or disrespectful in America?

Does John Thune realize that passing the Save America Act would end the democrats entirely?

@JarrodRodrigue1 If you get bad service, you can choose to give a low tip or a normal tip, but you should absolutely speak to the management about the situation. Otherwise, the employee might just think you're a bad tipper rather than understanding she did anything wrong.

Last night, my boyfriend and I went to one of our favorite bars. It was my turn to pay, but we ended up arguing about the tip.
To give you some context, we’re both servers. However, he’s more empathetic and less confrontational than I am.
So when it came time to pay, I intended on giving our bartender what I felt she deserved—a little over 10%. Because her service was genuinely ASS for no reason. The bar was literally dead. We were basically her only customers, and she couldn’t have given less of a shit about us. I went for like 30 minutes without my first drink, and that’s roughly how it was for the rest of the time because she was too busy sitting on her phone and talking shit with her coworkers on the other side of the bar. My bf agreed.
But if you’ve worked in the service industry, you know that what I was about to do to her, as someone who’s also in the industry, is highly frowned upon. So predictably, my boyfriend said he felt bad and offered to give her the tip.
I refused. Because even though I work for tips, that doesn’t mean I feel entitled to them. I bust my ASS to give people the best service I can and I EARN that tip. So, sorry, but I refuse to give someone 20% if they didn’t really earn it.
Eventually, we left and she got what I thought she deserved. But he kept saying he felt bad about it, and I ended up going on this long rant about it to him until he eventually saw it my way.
So am I the asshole, or would you have done the same?

@threenotes_jp Sorry, but no. My mother taught me that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all.

The 250th anniversary will cost Democrats the midterms. People will be reminded of our patriotic roots, filled with AmericaFirst pride and reject the Democrats Marxist message.

@tuuu28283 My brother and his wife moved to Japan after graduating from university in the USA. They spent two years teaching English at Japanese schools. I went to visit them twice, and I had such a positive experience that Japan has always held a very special place in my heart.
