If he wants to improve his Japanese, all he needs to do is hop on a plane to Japan, and shack up with a new sensei for a few days: the 'Professional Manga Reader' sensei. That will further his development towards FG.
I don't lnow if anyone have seen the south park episode where they're playing world of warcraft but he has the exact same posture as the apex nerd of that episode. A part from that his japanese ain't that terrible considering he has never set a foot in the country.
I think, if he could read Manga on Japanese, that most difficult Japanese conversations.
Not bad, If you want to communication, need speak little Japanese.
Last night, I met one Gaijin, on the street, he has no cort,
he ask many people to something, but he speak just English.fluently.
No body understand his English, becouse of fluently.
Japanese can understand just Japanese katakana English.
I ask to him, "May I help you?"
he angry me and say, I lost all of money, and lost the way,
almost 2 hours he walk and ask help Japanese people, but nobody help him.
A little bit(or much) drank.
I gave him 3000yen, but he said, 'this money is very short to stay some hotel, or go somewhere,'
I recommended him, to stay coffee shop all night, and drink warm drink,
thinking how do going tommorow.
he ask me, "are you single? I want stay your house, tonight"
I have has, also very difficult to stay unknown person, and dranker to stay at my house. How about you?
I said "3000 yen, is all money I have today, This is all of things I can do for you." not little for me.
he got my namecard(he wants to return money), and we are shaking eachother, he had very cold hand.
If he speak little Japanese, many people could understand of his poor situation, he will get more good help.
I remenber, 1 CM Gaijin shouted ,"Help me, Help me!" but, Japanese girl never understand his English, also his situation, so leave him, feel very sorry.
