Why are you clicking with your mouth?

[tvandlust]

@TomSFox Why are you asking pointless questions?

[TomSFox]

@tvandlust Why are you so fucking rude?

[tvandlust]

@TomSFox Haha, you don't think your initial question is rude itself? I take time to help people learn something they might be interested in, and you ask me why I click my tongue? How is that NOT rude and pointless? What does that have to do with anything?

I'm not even learning Japanese, but thought that this was a great video. You really should make some more videos long these lines. Very interesting.
