Feel very depress learning Japanese now. Even that I've been learning it for almost 4 years, still can't avoid keep making lots of mistakes.
Especially the honorific which I dislike the most. It's too difficult to handle it skilfully.
Everytime when talking to the Japanese who are elder than me, I always make them feel uncomfortable. Cause I always using the words that shows no respect to them or the words that should be used to those who are younger than me.
They were a little bit angry at me, and I felt kind of upset as well.... I'm not a native speaker of Japanese, you know I didn't mean to use the wrong words... I did it with no purpose, truly.
I feel very nervous when having conversations with Japanese elders now. How annoying, how depress! Yeah, okay cool, I know, for them, this called MANNERS... But it's still the way too strict for me...
I love English so much. To compare with Asian languages, English is a very free language. In normal cases, you can say whatever you want to whomever that is elder than you or younger than you. You don't even have to change the words to show your respect when talking to your boss. Is that right?
Ohhhhhh God.... I feel so depress now...
Kind of wanna give up learning Japanese ...
Sorry for complaining...
Okay, anyway, I'll try to cheer myself up in order to work hard on learning Japanese soon again...!

Compared with Japanese, I love English soooooooo much more.
I feel very depressed when learning Japanese now.
Even though I've been learning it for almost 4 years, I still can't avoid keep making a great number of mistakes.
Especially the honorifics, which I dislike the most.
Every time I'm talking a Japanese elder, I always make them feel uncomfortable.
This is because I always use words that show no respect to them, or words that should be used for those who are younger than me.
I'm not a native speaker of Japanese, I didn't mean to use the wrong words...
It's so very annoying and depressing!
Yeah, okay cool, I know this is what is called MANNERS for them...
But it's still the way too strict for me...
Compared with Asian languages, English is very free.
In normal cases, you can say whatever you want to whomever; whether they are elders or younger than you.
Is that right?
Yes in most cases; as long as you refer to them as "sir/ma'am" or add "Mr. / Mrs." in front of their name
I feel so depressed now...
I kind of want to give up learning Japanese ...
Okay, anyway, I'll try to cheer myself up in order to work hard on learning Japanese soon again...!
I am very grateful :)
Oh, what I mean is not です、ます。 Is 尊敬語 and 謙譲語。
I'm cool with です、ます (^_^)
To use 尊敬語 and 謙譲語, you have to change the whole form of the words. For an example, to eat, which is 食べます in 丁寧語 but turn into いただく in 謙譲語; 召し上がる in 尊敬語.
And other example, します which is to do in 丁寧語 but turn into なさる in 尊敬語 and いたす in 謙譲語.
What I mean is not 敬語(丁寧語) which is です、ます。
But 尊敬語 and 謙譲語。
It's too difficult T_T
お互いに頑張りましょう！
Or I don't suppose to have this kind of annoyance.
Yeah, I know that kind of feeling very well! Asian languages are much more inderiect and euphemistic, especially Japanese. But I thought they were cute expressions that makes the hearers feel comfortable, even the hearers know that speakers didn't say it from hearts and just being superficial.
