Good to get that off my chest, I drop my kid off at a Japanese daycare and our parenting strategy is to stick to English to help with her code switching. My white ass has to say Good Morning knowing full well how to speak Japanese, lol.
I’d probably classify my knowledge at a very beginner level. I know hiragana and some katakana and a few kanji characters, and I know simple sentence structure and grammar. I’ve mostly been just using Duolingo and Renshuu for learning and have struggled to find time to finally open the Genki textbook I bought over a year ago
It’s common for a Japanese person to say it’s good anyway. I once was told this simply for knowing how to say you’re welcome. That said, it’s a long process to learn but nice when you make some headway.
Oh, you didn’t have to delete your post, it was a valid question. Code switching is basically the ability to change language without mixing them up. It helps a lot with fluency and something professional translators are good at. My daughter asks her mom questions in Japanese and me in English and builds her two languages independently.
おはようございます、げんきですか？

Also I had the Genki textbook in high school lol.

No, it’s fine, I just remember I can search on the internet, and it gave me the answer.
元気です！😂
