And I trust my Japanese friends opinions more than your teachers. I've known them since my first year of high school. This conversation has come up. Unless your teacher was born and raised in Japan s/he doesn't know more about the language than my friends. I had a German teacher one year that didn't know shit about Germany. Just because they are a teacher doesn't mean what they say is right. Especially when you get into college. Teachers use too much opinion and make it sound like fact...
