Gidg, if you ever get a chance to visit your lab you should go and don't worry about the language thing. They all speak English better than we could learn Japanese but of course they appreciate you taking an interest in their culture and having a go.
As I said already - "Shochu" and "Crazy Kiwi" worked well for me - you can try "Crazy American" instead if you want
I love visiting Japan! I want to go back again - it's been more than 2 years now since the last time

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

I'm not in agreement on their English ability! However they will congratulate you for trying. I frequently had Japanese people tell me that I spoke great Japanese after all they had heard me say was "thankyou"

Well obviously some will have better English than others but I have been able to communicate perfectly well enough to get around.
Lotta fun.

The people that I talk with seem to be able to speak it decently, I'm just not sure about the understanding part of it. Sometimes they don't get what I'm saying the first time around, though they are getting better.

yeah, we all get that at first. The biggest thing I found was in using small sentences. We tend to explain things in one continuous strea filled with and, but, if, then etc. It's too much for them (well, anyone with English as a second language). Break it down into smaller thoughts and everyone will be happier.

It's kind of weird...that doesnt really occur to me, cos i do it anyway! lol!
no, that is no grounds for you to call me a simpleton!
But since I lived in Romania I change my speech when I'm talking to people whose English migh not be so good...which often became a problem when it came to talking to people I didn't really know. Because I didn't want to offend them by talking simply, but I didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable by speaking too complexly!

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Just in the short time that I've started working with them, I've find myself making sure that what I say is very much to the point. I only state things a different way if they don't get it. The nice thing is that they all seem to end the conversation with what they heard and understood. That helps a lot.
