Hello.
I don't understand... isn't it better to practice a language you 
don't know well with people more learned than you who can correct 
your mistakes? Especially in a spirit of fun and a public forum it 
seems more like trying to play scrabble in a different language than 
trying to put yourself up as being someone truly fluent.
The tiny bits of Japanese I know are entirely verbal, because they 
are the result of my trying to be polite around my Japanese friends and 
in stores and restaurants where Japanese is the main language.
This is such a different argument from what I usually hear here in the 
US that everyone should speak English because we Americans can't be bothered 
to learn anything else! Should we then be limited to speaking English because 
since we aren't fluent in another language and therefore we shouldn't 
even bother to try?
