>Be me >Get to sign up in a Japanese language course >Basic level >First day arrives >Teacher is japanese and talks us about the usual basic stuff >Phonems, katakana, hiragana, kanji, romaji, a little of japanese history >Everyone says a japanese expression along the class and he laughs and replies >"What a wonderful class" >Class ends >Teacher says "Matashta" >I respond "Otskare" >He just stares at me and everyone stays quiet >He goes, everyone mind their own business
Did I fuck up? Why I was the only one who the teacher didn't replied to? Should I go for Korean after all?
Brandon Martinez
saying "Otsukare" to a teacher is kinda rude
so I guess he wasn't sure that you were just kidding or not
Dylan Lopez
>taking japanese
being offended when a language student makes a mistake
Liam Clark

Saying "Otsukare" to a teacher is kind of like talking down to him.
But the teacher is a dick for not being understanding to foreighn

Asher Long
When is it ok to say it?
Carter Hall
Why is it rude, though. Isn't it literally like 'good job doing your job'?
Hunter Long
Would it have been better to say "Otsukaresama desu/deshita"? Or is it better to reserve it for coworkers and peers and such?
Carter James
Next time you must say ご苦労さん
Isaiah Torres
Ah, I think I understand the difference. Still think it's retarded for the other expression to be considered rude. You Asians and you complexes..
Nicholas Reed
To be most polite, でかしたぜ is best.

>Would it have been better to say "Otsukaresama desu/deshita"? way better but still a little weird >Or is it better to reserve it for coworkers and peers and such? yes
if a teacher says “matashita”, it's better to just say “matashita” as a response

lol weebs
Adrian Kelly
idk but is it normal to say “good job” to a teacher when he says “see you tomorrow” in the west?
Daniel Ward
you probably wouldnt say "good job" thanking them would be the most appropriate thing, or just saying "see you tomorrow" as well
Jackson Sanchez
It actually makes perfect sense if you think about it. Huh. Still a bit funny to hear a teacher react like that. I wonder if he was being a dick, or if he got genuinely perplexed and didn't know what to think.

is japanese a popular language in mexico?
Angel Moore
Anime is.. not japanese itself though. Learning english is hard enough for most people, not a chance they learn moonrunes to any serious degree.
Ian Wright

Logan Foster

Tyler Long
He was probably thinking whether he should correct OP or not
