Japan cannot English

**maji** · 2009/10/21(Wed) 16:08:29

Why are the Japanese so bad at English?

**maji** · 2009/10/21(Wed) 18:03:37

>>2
Mostly because the japanese perfectionist mentality inhibits the process of learning a language.

You have to speak broken english before you can speak perfect english. But the aversion to speaking any broken English causes them to speak incomprehensible English in an attempt to speak perfect english

**maji** · 2009/10/21(Wed) 18:05:56

Also in my opinion English curriculum in Japan focuses more on obscure grammar rules than effective communication.

**maji** · 2009/10/22(Thu) 01:26:52

Generally speaking, citizens in countries that are advanced in
economy and technology (especially great powers,
such as Germany, France and Japan) tend not to be good at speaking
in foreign languages because they don't have to speak those
compared to those in countries who have to interact with
people outside more often.

**maji** · 2009/10/22(Thu) 01:33:08

-> 'interacting with people outside' should include trading,
commerce etc. other than the mere meaning of 'person to person'.

**maji** · 2009/10/22(Thu) 01:41:57

correction >>4
because they don't have to speak those

-> because they don't 'necessarily' have to speak those
or
-> because they don't 'necessarily' have to possess
a good command of those

That's not really true, its much more common for Europeans to be multilingual. More so than Americans.

**maji** · 2009/10/22(Thu) 22:07:30

>>7
You just proved his point.

**maji** · 2009/10/22(Thu) 22:28:06

>>7
He said economically advanced countries are less likely to be multilingual.

That just isn't true though. It has more to do with geography

**kagyokuhou** · 2009/10/29(Thu) 19:19:52

Suppose my lover Japanease woman Hakkina's (her weight 45kg)groin and a barrel which bandles 50 American women's (thier each weight 70kg)groins are pulled each other to compere thier strength.

They only thing they can do is
just utter English words for
their vanity!! I'm wowed!!

**maji** · 2010/05/30(Sun) 23:18:10

Reason is so simple.
Japan is too rich to learn foreign language.
Most of Japanese are learning English not for everyday's life but for just a fashion.
Or precisely,just excuse of not doing anything substantial.
Except a few of elites groups, Japanese have no need to
learn English. Without using English, we can enjoy best life
in the world.

This is the most intelligent response on the entire board.

I can't speak english.... very sad...

**maji** · 2010/06/06(Sun) 00:03:16

Focusing on Speaking before having a mental image of the pronunciation of the second language I think it leads to get used of using the native pronunciation in the second language.

Japanese is shy to speak English...

but I can english little.

**maji** · 2010/07/21(Wed) 12:53:57

>24
Shyness just seems more prevalent in every aspect of Japanese culture, stemming from a greater fear or making errors.

(⊃´· ω·)⊃ Hold me early.

**maji** · 2010/09/24(Fri) 19:37:40

>>29
To say seriously, "MAJIDE" means "Really?" or "Are you serious?".
MAJIDEJIMA is a kind of wordplay with "MAJIDE".

**maji** · 2010/09/25(Sat) 00:59:21

Hold me early.

I come back here. Although I am under the control banning the provider to 2ch.net
because of net-uyos propagandas.
it is a significant problem for me. During the last one month,
2ch banned us three times for the problem by the possibly same person.
Fortunately, Here is out of the border. So, I can write everything here.

**maji** · 2011/08/25(Thu) 11:03:56.44

what is this board for, anyway? Writing in English? Japanese people trying out their English skills while insulting other countries? "foreign" talk? Please let me know.
