That's not true: I've spoken single sentences and Japanese people would tell me, "when you spoke just now I thought you were Japanese."
And for what's it's worth, he spoke more than the above (e.g. when he was imitating the instructor).
- basugasubaku 17y agoThat doesn't contradict my assertion that generally some things will sound natural and others won't. When we was imitating the instructor he was speaking English in a Japanese accent right? I am talking about whether his Japanese is native-sounding.
- dbul 17y agoThat's the funny thing: he was speaking Japanese but two of the 3 words he used were borrowed from English. I guess in the end not having been to Japan and knowing few, if any, people who have gone there and seriously studied the language, it simply sounded impressive to me.
