Just a general announcement that I will be turning myself black for the reminder of the day.
That is all.
I was thinking about turning into a Pacific Islander.
Fijians are pretty chill. Must be the kava.
Duly noted. ๐ด
Turning Japanese would only get me MORE scolding about how I "speak like a kindergartener".
When you're bad at Japanese, they tell you how good you are at it.
When you get better, they immediately start telling you how BAD you are at it.

I got scolded by a coworker for saying "Arigatล" to a cashier in a Starbucks.
"You ONLY need to say DลMล!"
The French will eyeroll you like you just gave them a headache if youโre French is GOOD or BAD.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @mcfate if itโs bad theyโll Peak to you I. Rapid fire french, smirk, and walk away
@TheAbbotTrithemius @mcfate me? I look at them blankly and try to figure out if I can recognize one word
In Japan, they keep "picture menus" for people like you.
@mcfate @TheAbbotTrithemius yeah China too.
Much unrecognizable, but ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The difference between Japan and France is that in Japan, nobody imagines that foreigners can manage to speak Japanese.
The French are kind of like the Texans: they think EVERYONE actually speaks their language, somehow, just that lots of people deliberately pretend they can't to make everyone else miserable.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @Beanc
Oh, they get MUCH more tolerant when there's cash involved.
Unless you ask for ketchup for your pommes frรฎtes.
