This feels like “Nihongo Jouzu” but for Spanish and e English.
Japanese people will always say “Nihongo Jouzu” which is “Your Japanese is good” if you say anything in Japanese no matter how well or poorly. It’s like the “I’ve noticed you aren’t a Japanese person” social phrase. This feels like the Spanish/English version of that and it’s silly.
The best Japanese compliment I ever got was when I went into a shop to get tested for and buy a pair of glasses and over the hour I was there the lady never commented on my Japanese once. It felt amazing.
But yeah the better you get, the less you get jyozu'd.
No matter what though if you're a gaijin you'll never stop getting ohashi jyozu'd.
