Being in a café which neighbours to a chamber for students abroad

Same thing happend to me when I was learning German.
I know it's hard to talk to others when you dont understand everything they say, but you still need to talk to improve. Dont be shy or afraid of making mistakes. It happens.
If you dont understand what they say, just tell them. No one will judge you for it, so dont worry.

>when I was learning German.
u r from Romandy? not op btw

>No one will judge me
well, unfortunately I cannot help doubting what you say, because due to my meanness and discriminatory mind which are apt to describe slily as undiligent, bizarre and foolish those who try to speak Japanese but fail to make themselves understood.
As I cannot belive in my own conscience, so I cannot believe in your generosity…

Nah, I was not born in Switzerland

are you a french or italian immigrant who went there to work for something?

Alright fair enough. But please keep in mind that most westerners in Japan are used to hearing bad english and asian accents, and honestly most people dont care, so you shouldnt care either.

My father is Swiss, born in south america.

rate what I meant at

>westerners in Japan
on that point, yes I admit.
what I fear is the time when I dare to speak to westerners in the West through internet or during my stay there.
I have friends in the /cum/ server of discord and sometimes decide to take part in their voice chat, but I cannot follow.
Moreover, even though I'd like to participate in the talk, I don't want to interrupt them by asking to speak slowly, tell me the meaning of the words I don't know, and put in order the context I cannot follow because of my incompetence.
That is, I don't want to force them to be puzzled by using them as a tool to improve my own ability…
>south america
soooo you are latin?

English speakers are more used to having people from everywhere and with different levels of English trying to speak to them. you won't be their first or their last one. also, if it's someone that speaks a second language, then the person definitely knows how you feel and will be patient with you. as the other user, you'll commit mistakes at some point. so imo it's better to commit as many of them and as quick as possible, so you can fix them fast and improve on your biggest problems

thanks my dude from the continent of the opposite side.
well, I seem to be very stuck by our notorious insularism…I'll have to do my best.
>improving my big mistakes
well, since you used the future tense, I hadn't made any big mistakes until I posted my last one?
well at I made a syntan mistake, though.

You coule start by talking with other people learning english and foreigners in Japan. Talking to native speakers in the west or online is going to be hard. Learning a foreign takes time so dont expect to understand everything native speakers say right away. Just focus on improving step by step.

>are you latin
Geographically, yes. Though I am genetically european

thanks for advice!
>tfw I have here no friends from abroad and no courage to dare to speak friendlily but politely to those who came here to study abroad.

we can only try to improve, but we're always going to commit mistakes. I commit mistakes in Portuguese too, why wouldn't the same be true for English? improving is important though, and quite honestly it's what motivates me to learn different languages

Cute!

yeah, you are right except that my own "enthusiasm" is set at memorizing vocabulary through electric dictionary.
I cannot dispense with it and I'm always carrying it like my smartphone in order not to memorize words and remember them.
That is, I'm too much afraid of forgetting them. How obsessed I am.

Bro, if an English speaker is adventurous amd conscientious enough to travel to Japan, he won't care one bit about you asking him to talk slower and explain the meanings of words. English is the world's lingua franca, so we're used to foreigners speaking imperfect or broken English to us. Nobody will think twice about it.

>if competent English teachers would come here we wouldn' have trouble in asking English persons to speak slowly
plz explicate this logic in detail.

don't care about I got what meant.
well, however, thanks to our "humbling" mind which disdains to interrupt teachers to satisfy our, students' personal desires, we, at least I, cannot ask them to do us a favor and give facilities…
