Is your Japanese Masculine enough ?

Nowadays, it is not unusual to have a foreigner speaking reasonably good Japanese in business scenes.

Some surprisingly speak good and natural Japanese, especially those from Asian countries, and some speak remarkably feminine Japanese, especially guys from Western countries; the answer is simple, they learned from their Japanese girlfriends or wives.

Yesterday, I was in a meeting to discuss a potential M&A deal with my colleagues and consultants from U.S.

One of the consultants attempted to show his Japanese language skill to us, but he spoke exceptionally feminine Japanese, almost baby-like.

After the consultants left, my boss said " He must be dating a teenage girl".

In addition to polite and humble expressions, Japanese encompasses expressions by gender.

If you speak Japanese and have propensity to hang out with Japanese girls more than guys, check whether your Japanese is masculine enough.
