Japanese people are not offended when foreigners use inappropriate usage in conversation, because they fully understand it takes a long time for foreigners to command non-native languages, considering how difficult it is for Japanese to handle foreign languages including English. Therefore, you don't have to worry about it. Just relax and try to talk to them.

In formal Japanese language education in foreign countries, Japanese is taught in a proper manner. They teach you to say, "wakarimashita" instead of "wakatta". If you have received formal Japanese language education, you will not have the problem you are talking about.

@Miho3 きちんと勉強して努力したうえでならばそうでしょうが、この手の間違いはそもそもきちんと勉強していたら起こりません。先日「ナニ」と「ナンダッテ」について質問しているポーランド人がいましたが、そう言う断片的な日本語がインターネットミームとして流通している現実があります。
「（外国語でペラペラ話して）ナンダッテ！」とネタとして挟み込む、この質問者の言う「ワカッタ」と言うのはそういうようなものです。加藤茶の This is a pen! みたいなものです。
