I want to know what Japan is like from people who actually live in Japan especially after seeing some misleading posts online from people who don’t live in Japan & people misunderstanding something resulting in people being misleadingly negative about Japan

      [Lemmy] dominates English-speaking sites, and most Japanese people don’t use this site because they can’t speak English. Therefore, we cannot get answers from actual Japanese people.

      translation by Google

        How I feel browsing mastodon and it’s not anywhere near as bad as the inverse for other countries.

        Don’t use Google translate because it will get Japanese / 日本語 wrong

        I can verify that google translate got some things right but I don’t know all the kana & kanji in that scentence yet to be able to read it

      I only understood a some words in that scentence because I haven’t yet learned enough Japanese to read that fully

      I haven’t learned that big of a wordset yet as I’m primarily focusing on learning grammer at the moment before continuing to learn vocabulary
