It’s a topic that Twitter user @phie_hardison brought up online recently, with a tweet labelled “Learning Japanese gotta be rough”.
Included with the tweet is the message “Japanese you learn at Japanese school VS Japanese actually spoken by Japanese people“, and the video demonstration shows the huge difference that exists between the two.
