    The question should be why can you speak japanese? 1. Your from japan 2. Your family is from japan and your azn. 3. You took classes,live their for sometime, or learn the language for some other purely business reason. 4. Your a weeaboo.
    What if our dadused for a TV making company, so we used to come into contact with Japanese people all the time? Or a these girls from a Japanesehandbell choir came to play at our church and we housed them? Perhaps I'm trying to regain my youth? THAT'S IT! -completed self-analysis- UREISHI! Wait. Does that make me a Weeaboo? Hnnn... -tries to think- -fails epicly-

    I would qualify that under "purely business" but under those scenarios its unlikely you would not actually learn how to speak much moonspeak, more likely what you can say is so badly pronouns that its laughable to a native speaker.

    Wow, that was extremely rude. I was explaining my language skill as a bit of an introduction. Nothing I sad was to show off. I even said in the first post I made that I had actually been hanging around here for a while and that I do plan to actually contribute to the community.

    And I am going to have to insist I am not a weeaboo. In fact, I am extremely offended that you jumped to that conclusion and called me one. I am in Japan and I am here to learn the language and the culture after studying in the US. I am not here because I watch anime or read manga and I am not trying to assimilate myself to the culture. I was interested in the culture and history (not pop culture)and felt that learning the language would allow me a better understanding of the society as well. I know and understand the proper customs and language and I try to perform them correctly in my everyday life while I'm here.

    While it's true that I am and always will be a"gaikokujin" (or "gaijin" if you must insist on using such a rude term equivalent to "the N word" or"the G word") I try my best to behave respectfully.

    Your last sentance is extremely wrong. There are certainly those who dislike the presence of foreigners or "outsiders" but the image is changing and there are plenty of people who accept and embrace intercultural relationships. The fact I am here along with many other international students is proof.

    My parents actually started teaching it to me, then I started learning it on my own. My accent is pretty bad, but it's understandable. I told her I was going to stugy Hiragana on the way to the bus, and she was like: Huh... OH! -great accent- Hiragana?Oh! You're learning Japanese? I used to live there! Then we got into this long discussion about how it bugs us that people say Toe key oh insted of Toe kyo. And I know it has nothing to do with her living in Japan, but I'd like to pont out that last year she was taking college classes (yes, at college) even though she would normally have been a Junior in high school (I have to brag about my favorite people!). She is possibly the nicest person I've ever met, even though she's a nerd. (It just makes her more adorable, which she already is because she's short.)

    Hey I say it like it is, if that rude so be it. I said your "probably" a weeaboo not that you are for sure, if you really did go to japan not because you needed to fill a cultural void that you could not fill with your own culture due to ignorance or untrendiness of said culture but purely for business/academic reasons then you not a weeaboo, then I apologies for any offense, but if you did or if you never been to japan but are just jerking our junk then calling you a weeaboo is not enough.

    Hey my parents tried to teach me their native Spanish but due to do to laziness, childhood hearing impairment and metal inadequates I have yet to even master English. Good for you attempting to master another language, but that still begs to ask why your parents choose japanese?

    You're not "saying it like it is" you are accusing anyone who knows Japanese is a weeaboo. However, you will find yourself more often wrong with this assumption. People study foreign languages for more than just business reasons and peoplearen't necessarily studying it because of some "cultural void" they feel. Studying something because it is interesting and challenging is a way to better oneself, nota way to becondescending to others. Acquiring second language skills is also a way to help in the community. One reason I'm studying Japanese is because there is a large Japanese community in my hometown and I will beable to aid in intercultural communicatins and conflict resolutions when I have acquired enough skills.

    I suppose your run-on sentence is the closest thing to an appology I'll get and I very gratefully accept.

    go to urban dictionary dot com and look up "weeaboo"

    Someone obsessed with Japanese culture because it's trendy and they try to be Japanese and fail. I'm not too fond of these people they are very annoying to talk to and generally come across as idiots.
