A native speaker, who has been in Japan for a few weeks, doesn't understand Japanese and knows only several words. After throwing together a dinner salad and eating it, the author worked for a while. Around 10, the author's stomach started to growl. So, the author went out to buy something to eat and found a vending machine. Although the author couldn't understand what goods were being sold except for " Rich Black", the author guessed " black chocolate " because it looked like a small bar of chocolate. While the author was buying half a dozen more because it was measly portion, Neighbors passing by stared at the author, laughed and gave the author scornful looks. Then, the author flung out one of a few fail-safe Japanese phrases, " Suki desu yo!"--(I like it! ). After going back to the apartment, the author ripped one of them.
Then, the author realized the goods were " condoms". At the night the author determined to start studying Japanese.
When I read this essay, I laughed. However, I might have an experience like the episode unless I study English more.
