me coming up to a vietnamese guy:
“konnichiwa my friend! what is your favourite anime?”
“cowabunga my dude! you seen Apocalypse Now?”
Older polish people in the west of Poland often speak better German than English, but they will often refuse to unless you make clear your not German.
make clear your not German.
Do you do that by pouring out a beer(brewed to Reinheitsgebot standards), jumping up and down on one those stupid hats with the feather in them while pissing on a sausage and burning a copy of mein kampf?
I thought you said “Ich bin eine Amerikkkaner
” although I guess this does have a danger of accidentally saying 
at the end instead and confusing them
Did something happen politically?
This has to be bait, right? I hope?
They might not know but it’s also possible that, just as with tourists who go to Vietnam and get upset American forces are shown accurately in Vietnamese museums, they might be expecting the Taiwanese to have let it go.
visits Hiroshima
Guys guys guys guuuuuuys, World War 2 is ancient history, why are you still mad about it?
The random Japanese words inserted in the middle of English sentences for no reason gave me whiplash.
All according to 計画
Especially for shit that only has a loan word in Japanese, like a boba shop lol
before the 60s-70s-ish? most people spoke taiwanese (taiyu/minnan) as a first language, but large parts of the population were speaking hakka, and indigenous nations spoke their own languages.
during the japanese occupation people had to learn japanese as a second language. then during the KMT occupation right after, they had to learn mandarin as a second language. people born after the 80s generally speak better mandarin than taiyu, with indigenous people generally not speaking taiyu at all. boomers speak taiyu better than mandarin (unless they’re “out-of-province” i.e KMTers that arrived during the civil war), and only really old people might speak japanese.
if you meet a not-ancient person that speaks japanese it’s because they’re a weeb, as weebism is huge in taiwan, second only to being a amerophile angmo-sai
Probably doing a bit
Nani the fuck
Went to northwestern Poland this summer and people were annoyed that I tried speaking English and didn’t know German
Every menu was in Polish/German. I know a little bit of German so reading isn’t an issue but speaking is difficult.
wadafak?
I see people saying this is a bit but I honestly think this is somewhat likely to be real. Depending on where the OP is from. If they’re from the US, I could easily see this being some weeb who thinks Japan is the center of East Asia.
Aside from the interesting use of japanese characters in english, why not literally go and speak Japanese in Japan??
I think OOP addresses this in the first sentence, although it’s a silly reason to think that Japanese will apply in Taiwan Province as well
