Thread: 日本語中級会話 (Japanese Only) Post: 日本語中級会話 (Japanese Only) "それは関西に住んでる外国人の大半やなくて、外国人の大半、です。(笑)" ピンポン！ と書きたいけど「外国人の大半」を「日本にいる英語圏の人の大半」に変えた方が正しいかな 理由としては、英語を母国語とする人の中では外国語をほんの少しでも喋れるようになったら達成感がおおきからか変なスラングを使ったりするなどちょっと調子に乗っちゃう人は少なくないです。 私も最初はそうだったかもしれない。 |

Thread: To what extent does the dialect of a Japanese tutor affect a student Post: To what extent does the dialect of a Japanese tuto... I think if you still need a tutor, then worrying about their accent of your tutor is kind of putting the horse before the cart. |
