Why Nihon's English is so terrible?
>>
>>62266084
It's other way around. Why gaijin's Japanese is so terrible?
>>
>>62266852
No one cares about Japanese except weebs.
>>
>>62266084
Because most of Japanese don't feel necessity of English in their real life.
It's same as you don't feel necessity of Japanese in your real life.

>>62266084
Take your enquiries to the Japanese thread

1. English is too fucking exotic for them. They need to learn its grammar from the scratch, unlike a German or French speaker.
2. Different spelling system makes them not really so used to Latin. This explains the "fow" and "eito".
3. Compared with other developed populations speaking non-IE languages, Japanese in general had less exposure to media in IE languages than, say, Turks or Arabs.

Do you hate Nihon

>>62267746
Yeah but what about south koreans

they can learn good and are based unlike japs

>>62266084
I've always wondered: How did they come up with TEEN and TEEEN?

Another I noticed: Japanese often leave implied. Has to do with being a high-context language, is supposed to deduct the rest.

(Another thing I've noticed: Japanese posters often leave words and sentences implied. This has to do with Japanese being a high-context language, the listener/reader is supposed to deduct the rest of the content.)

>>62267979
They have an expressive Christard population, they love drinking coffee, they swapped their original writing system with alphabet-like Hangul... one would assume far more Western influence than Japan.

>>62268017
>they
More like one stupid bitch remembered something like "teen" in English and assumed it's the word for a hundred. From that to "teeen" it's the same reasoning.

It's annoying to see gaijins (especially Americans) who believe that English is spoken everywhere on the earth. Is this due to American education?

As I said, English is not that spoken in the rest of the world. Do you seriously think everyone on the earth should know English?
>>
>>62268478
It's due to the fact that English is spoken everywhere.
They don't offer Cambodian at my school, but I'm sure as hell sure they teach English in Cambodia.
>>
>>62269401
Very limited people can speak decent English in Asian countries for example.
Now, I understood why Americans always speak to random people in English in a country where English is not mother language.
>>
>>62269389
The Chinese are better at speaking English than Japan, and China is a much more important country than Japan.
>>
>>62270405
>The Chinese are better at speaking English than Japan
Is that so? Have you actually ever been to China?
According to my actual experience, local Chinese people don't understand English at all. They don't understand even simple English words, like flight tickets. Business people can speak decent English though.
Thanks for showing me your ignorance.

>>62266084
They're self-efficient. Just like you or France for example.

BOOM!

SEPPO GOT REKT

>>62270702
Ive only been to Shanghai and Beijing, but I have met many exchange students at university from second and third tier Chinese cities who spoke better English than most of the Japs ive met. They seem to be more ambitious than the Japanese so they concentrate on their English skills.

>>62271302
because they can't take nobel prize.
use a second language in the university?
that is terrible.

>>62271302
When you are talking about uni students, it might be true. But what about the rest of people that are majority of their population?

sometimes I felt why Japanese government doesn't sell US government bonds all they have?
>>
>>62273950
Firstly, USA doesn't allow Japan to sell them.
Secondly, it's hard to find buyers because we have much big amount of US bonds.
>>
>>62271302
Agreed, went to Shanghai and although most people couldn't speak English worth a damn, a good amount of high school/uni students spoke English pretty decently.

lack of use/practice

When you don't use something you need, you won't improve no matter if you have spent years "studying" it.

That said, a lot of people may spend years through middle and high school "learning" the language, but since there's nothing in their daily lives that makes necessary/urgent for them to focus on improving their English skill, they won't try to improve, which means they'll suck at it no matter how many years go by.

Maybe it's their case too.
