You type in English because it's the only language you know.

I type in English because it's the only language you know.

One thing I love doing is to learn to say "I don't speak " as well as possible in a language I don't speak. If you're good enough at it, people will assume it's a joke and try to speak to you in that language you don't actually know. Apparently I'm pretty good at saying it in Portuguese, but I wouldn't know.

Most of what I got out of a Japanese class I took was how to say that I don't understand Japanese.

Watashi wa nihonjo ga wakarimasen.

The use of watashi wa would give it away. Japanese people basically never say I at all

I don't know much Japanese, but the bits I do know suggest it's a very different language than English. Not just different sounds, but also just a different approach to expressing things. Like, I think instead of saying "I'm hungry", they just say "hungry!" Presumably though, they do use "I" when it's needed for disambiguation.

For, example, if you're with a friend and someone asks "are you guys college students?" The response would probably be something like "He is but I'm not", right?

Not as much as you might hope but yeah

Excuse me I am more fluent in Gibberish than I am in English

Edit:too much Gibberish, not enough English
