Dude, why the fuck don't you just post all of your retarded questions in ONE thread?

And yes, I called them retarded as you're a troll and NOTHING more. You could possibly be a tween who is obsessed with the idea that you can fall into a magical pond in CHINA and turn into a girl with the first drop of water to touch your skin, but you have a negative reputation for a reason.

1. Depends on the area you are in.

2. Depends on the age of the people as kids very often speak a fair bit. I remember when in Kamakura sightseeing with my wife I kept having children coming and talking to me in English.

3. Also depends how you talk to them as to whether they will understand you.

Majority of people know a few words but do not recognise it when spoken as they are used to hearing it in a Japanese accent.

If you're gonna travel show some respect and learn the language!

I hate it when white people come here and don't learn a word of the language or don't learn to pronunce it properly. Each time I came here I studied like crazy, same with any country I visit!

You sound like a complete effin weeaboo. You lose if you were trying to be funny/cool.

You're "attempting" to make fun of an American shopping in Japan using only English but the fact of the matter is his Japanese is probably better than the 5 words you know.
