I have been studying Japanese for a little while and finally got to speak to a native speaker!

I (16M) have been studying japanese for a while now and went on a vacation to Florida, they had a japanese place somewhere and I was interested to see if my learning has paid off at all, so I approached a few of the employees alongside my father and my father made it not very awkward, and so I introduced myself and just had over all a lot of fun speaking with natives and as bonus we understood each other speaking!
