My hubby has learned a little bit of Japanese from watching anime. He calls my sister-in-law's dog "inu-chan." I'm surprised she hasn't gotten mad at him yet. She's Korean.

I'm almost surprised that the first representative in the OP didn't expect Kaycichu to translate.

But I didn't explain I knew the language either.

I should have interpreted, looking back, so that was my idiocy. Its my dream job, I should have practiced, but I thought it was better to get someone hired to do it as well...


Then again, they needed to talk to him for his personal info and billing...so...hm.

I can tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese only because we have a major Chinese exchange program at my University, and a lot of my friends take it. The other lot of them are all taking Japanese, and whenever they're plotting against the other group they'll drop into respective language.
