Have asked her not to translate. Have spoken directly to people talking to me without listening to her translation.
Have even explained, one on one, why I prefer to speak directly to teachers...asked how she would would feel if, when she was in America people did the same things to her she was doing to me (Answer: Sad)
Have even said, "please. I need to do this or my Japanese won't get better. "
Wasn't a one day thing. But I am glad I was well rested enough to face it today.
