Learning Japanese: Does anyone else feel fluent until it comes time to actually speak like a real person?

Hi everyone! I’m a Japanese-Canadian-Turkish actor and language learner currently working on a personal project — and wanted to ask a quick question to the community. I’ve been experimenting with using acting techniques on anime/J-drama scenes for;

  • Fluency
  • Intonation
  • Body language
  • Slang/casual tone

Would love to hear what parts of speaking Japanese feel most unnatural for you and how are you improving it— no pressure, just research~
