Japan cannot English

Why are the Japanese so bad at English?

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

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.

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

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.

You just proved his point.

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

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

their vanity!! I'm wowed!!

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.
