Be me

>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?

saying "Otsukare" to a teacher is kinda rude

so I guess he wasn't sure that you were just kidding or not

>taking japanese

being offended when a language student makes a mistake

well I think no one got offended

>taking language courses is for pussies

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

test

When is it ok to say it?

Why is it rude, though. Isn't it literally like 'good job doing your job'?

Would it have been better to say "Otsukaresama desu/deshita"? Or is it better to reserve it for coworkers and peers and such?

Next time you must say ご苦労さん

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..

To be most polite, でかしたぜ is best.

>ぜ

>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

idk but is it normal to say “good job” to a teacher when he says “see you tomorrow” in the west?

you probably wouldnt say "good job"
thanking them would be the most appropriate thing, or just saying "see you tomorrow" as well

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?

Anime is.. not japanese itself though. Learning english is hard enough for most people, not a chance they learn moonrunes to any serious degree.

pls no bully the weebs

is it a big class?

He was probably thinking whether he should correct OP or not
