But isn't it rude to know nothing of a local 
language, go to that country and expect people to 
understand YOUR language? Like that American 
visiting our house, addressing the agent in 
English, agent only understands French, American 
moping. Why? Learn French, DUMBASS!! Takes a day 
or two to do. I, too, got my ass sore studying 
French and Flemish when I first got here.
It'd be shameless to expect the people her to 
understand German!
I think languages are a MUST and there's no 
reason to not learn the language of the country 
you're going... Learn or keep out or be mute 
during the stay. Which ain't polite either.

By the way, spoken/heard Japanese is a zillion 
times easier than Flemish or French O.o

I'm going to Japan this summer and I'm prepared 
and preparing.

Soredeha, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
