I accidentally met two japanese tourists with whom I could practice a little of this particular and charming (?) language, only to realise a long uphill battle that I still have to contend with. Perseverance and a good deal of a stick to it attitude are great mindsets to begin, but nothing like getting out there to have reality slapping you in DA FACE to show you how long of a way you still have left. It is one thing to hold a proficiency diploma and claim you dominate around a bajillion 漢字, but when your mind goes what is my name again? in front of a native in need of directions to a place only a few steps away, and the only thing you can think of is Miss, are you 迷っていますか?, you can grasp the real gap between books and the fieldwork. I regained my senses after hearing that resounding さようなら~, in exchange for a job well done in informing those ladies of the coolest tourist attractions around (In my mind, because maybe in theirs it could have been something like: YOU, GO THERE. THAT GOOD PLACE. PLEASE VISIT). Fun experience though.
