hi all I'm new here
I have been a bit discouraged lately. I have been studying Japanese very hard. I have even gotten a private Japanese tutor (who is native Japanese) that gives me lessons and says I am progressing well.
But I read on message boards like this that learning Japanese in America "isn't worth sh*t" when you come to Japan. Is this true? Why is this true if I'm being taught by Japanese themselves? Am I better off just waiting until I go to Japan to learn Japanese?
Sorry for annoying questions, but I'm a bit discouraged by posts that say "4 years of Japanese in America won't help you worth crap in Japan no matter how good you think you are" etc..What do you think of these posts and what should I do? If any of you took the time to learn alot of Japanese in America and went to Japan can you please tell me if it helped any? Thanks and sorry for the questions
