How do you know when your Japanese is good?

The quick and easy way to find out if your Japanese is getting good is : Japanese people stop telling you your Japanese is good.

  1. And when you speak to an unknown Japanese person on the phone, either by you calling them or they calling you, they assume you are Japanese.

    You go into a business establishment and no one bats an eye or acts nervously when you order something, ask for something, ask a question, etc.

  2. Exactly!! I've had people very confused on the phone when I finally tell them my name. They make me repeat it 3 or 4 times until they clock that I'm not Japanese. Very satisfying.
