My nihonggo sucks, go ask hamada-san, I'm sure s/he'd swear I'm not "one of them". Seriously though, I guess you also know that one of the main obstacles for mastering another language is one's fear of making mistakes so be shameless BB-san 
....practice or more precisely, slaughter the language as much as you can.....if the native speakers can't understand you, at least they will be entertained (and that's your good deed for the day-cheering people up)....don't be a shy sloth ......oops, gossip time is over....minna-san, oyasuminasai (goodnight guys)...Well, well, well . . making mistakes speaking to them - I would be someday thrown out of this country for all the slaughtering I have done of this language. Many times when I speak something, I get to see that shocked look and 'who taught you that' alarms my ears
this is good to know....they were probably thinking that a girl "taught you that"- no wonder the shocked look....you know of course that in japanese, it's quite pronounced the difference between between a girl's way and a guy's way of talking.....ask nikou-san....she addressed us both as girls in a previous post... ........ yosh........break a leg BB-san...
wait a minute....are you saying that both of you are guys????????
U never know who is who here
haha...well...honestly i do feel you both are (were?) girls when you two speak nihongo. maybe you wanna use "boku" or "ore" instead of watashi?
in fact, i did use boku and ore when i came to japan 4 years ago, and eeeeeveryone scoulded me saying DAME DESU YOOOO :DDD
what could i say, that time i was the only girl among 12 boys and 2 male sensei in my lab

A bit late for my ohayoo (good morning) but still early for the oyasuminasai (goodnight)....but I like to hang around here during this gossip lounge time....so BB-san, did you break a leg (or someone else's
)......and nikou-san, boku ga otoko dewa arimasen (I am not a guy- polite form of the verb ain't).... and I have nothing against guys except they're... guys , unfortunately -casandra-

I have never used 'boku' till now. I don't find it pleasant
; but dunno why I have always been using 'washi' instead of 'watashi' in spoken Japanese - may be pretty much influenced by the rough/tough Japanese spoken in this region even by my prof and all seniors. People outside find it amusing when a gaijin is naturally using 'washi'. -Nabi-

I really like "boku" that I wish I were a guy
Btw, I heard that "washi" is a very old term and was only used for the samurai. So, it`s interesting that every region has its own language use 
And Casandra-san, if you are a girl (yes, I`m pretty sure you are), you don`t need to use the "boku" or "ore". "Watashi" will be good

I'm still a newbie in Japan so I can't distinguish between accents. the only thing I'm learning at the moment is all the abbreviated words that are used here
Sutabaa- Starbucks
Makudee- McDonalds
MistDoo- Mr. Donuts
oh and Mo-kun the name of the Actor in Departures (Okuribito)who won that oscar thingy
