Defensive Japanese by Tim Ernest (cartoonist and humorist)

How to respond to the rude, impolite and insensitive.

When….

Someone doesn’t like you because you’re a gaijin!

1. I’m sorry you don’t like foreigners. Gaijin ga kirai de zannen da na!
2. I’m sorry you’re so narrow-minded! Kokoro no semai hito da na!
3. Why do you hate me, I don’t hate you. Doshite boku o kirau no? Boku wa kimi o kiratte nai noni.
4. Leave me alone racist! Hottoite kure yo! Jinshu-sabetsu hantai!

Part 2 Defensive Japanese by Tim Ernest (cartoonist and humorist)

How to respond to the rude, impolite and insensitive.

When…

People laugh at your efforts to speak Japanese.
1. Please don’t laugh! Warawanaide yo!

2. I get discouraged when you laugh at my Japanese. Warawareru to nihongo hanasu yuuki ga nakunatte shimau yo.

3. Give me a break, I’m doing my best. Nanda yo! Boku date seiippai yatterunda zo!

4. Your English is as funny as my Japanese. Hito no nihongo o waraeru no kai? :thumbup:

I think there is a sub-forum on JU here somewhere dedicated to members' experiences and personal learning routines. Sadly, it's become nothing more than a repository of links.
