Learn a word or two of Japanese, use them now and then, and sooner or later someone will tell you your Japanese is excellent.
Although I am always pleased when I hear it, I never forget two things:
1) I've been getting this compliment for 35 years. It's not so much a evaluation of one's ability as it is an appreciation for one's effort.
2) They never use this compliment on one another.
