Do what I do in English: nothing much.
Read books, browse websites, watch movies, chat about mundane crap with natives.

Or I could become a 芸人 famous for doing nothing in particular, but I'd probably shoot myself before doing that.

I'm going to いく to にほん and 言う to みんな how すごい and じょうず I am at にほんご and how すし is my いちばん　たべもの.

日本語がお上手ですね！納豆が食べられますか？

Haha! にほんじんs are so funny. Just because I'm a ばかがいじん doesn't mean I never tried なっと haha! It's sooo とてもおいしい I たべる it while I みる Japanese アニメ :3

But I like らめん better! It's すごい! that means グレイ- oops, I mean, "great"! Haha I'm so good at にほんご that I'm typing in かたかな~ I'm such a ばか hee hee

...I'm sorry for posting that

When I become fluent in Japanese, I will make sure not to sound like zachandhobbes previous posts.

By the way, it's redundant when he says.

... which made it all the more funny.

Writing everything in kana doesn't particularly help to defy the foreigner stereotype.
I'll presume you were being facetious though.

vileru, you got me there!

I should have said:

I'm いくing my way to glorious にっぽん!

I was gonna say I'd surprise all my Japanese friends with my l33t skills, but more likely it's -

Reminds me of that annoying American teacher on Conan who was always mixing in English with her mediocre Japanese.

This looks like a decent exercise in production

When I become fluent I'll call my aunt in Hiratsuka and she'll be all 素晴しい！！！and whatnot.

I just aspire to being able to pronounce my aunts name correctly.

When I become fluent I will just go around conversing with people and having fun. I don't intend to impress people with my Japanese. The way I see it after you're fluent you have the skill of everyone else in Japan. Not Particularly impressive.. but everyone has something in their personality that is awesome and I want to show that. Breaking 外人 stereotypes everywhere i go. Well not exactly I'll still be american. AMERICA ***** YEAH!

Actually think I'd just walk around Tokyo in this t-shirt and see what happens:

I lol'd.

lol

Can't agree with this more, you basically just want to become as skilled in the language as any other Japanese. Then and only then will you become fluent and get past all those stereotypes(i..e kanji is so hard for others to learn)

I just want to be able to go to the bookstore and be able to peruse and read excerpts like I would in English to pick out some novels...well, okay, manga too. Yay furigana and my lack of reading skills!

Please keep in mind, that there are people out there who actually talk like this. Do you still think it's funny?

Well, I do..

Yes, my native Japanese friend is going to an anime convention with a hotel room of weeaboos (her boyfriend's friends). I feel for her, and am not getting within 50 miles of that room.

definitely agree lol. A lot of those people(no offense) are just weird. Don't get me wrong I like anime/manga a lot. But I almost never talk about it, I don't even tell people about me learning japanese
