How is it in your country?I reckon most Japanese can't speak English, which is why misunderstandings arise with foreigners.
NANI......?!
>>217701634would be based if they made it their national priority to learn dutch like old times
>>217701634baka janai no
>America's influence is waning which means English lingua franca status will slowly dissipate throughout the century >Multipolar world means Japan will go back to being independent and isolatedNo reason for Japan to speak English. It's not needed anymore. Countries with strong cultures never learnt it to begin with.
>>217701694Only a few individuals within the shogunate understood Dutch. The Dutch remained confined to Dejima (an artificial island), and 99% of the population had no interaction with them.Moreover, Dutch would have been pointless. English is a compulsory subject because it is the most widely used language in the world.
>>217701634m-masaka...
>>217701634>South China Morning PostThe most accurate and believable source about Japan, I'm sure
>>217701744Best post thus far.
>>217701766Look at the Japanese posters...
>>217701744better start speaking indian and arabic then
>>217701634that's a good news:less exposure to america and western crapenglish is disgusting sound languageyou have translators in case of need
>>217701634English skill level of a country pretty much entirely depends on how much entertainment (original and translated) there is in your own language
【sad news】Japan cannot even write public works notices properly in English.and anglo take pic for post it on reddit.
>can't win(ToT)
it's bizarreenglish words in japanese have become so so prevalent but just speaking english is not valued and so people dont learncombination of nationalism and apathy
>>217702574It's bizzarre that English skills of zoomers might get better
>>217702773but your country philippines singapore have all benefited tremendously from the population having a baseline of english skillschina is fine cause theyre a big enough market in it of themselves and there's plenty of overseas chinesebut japan i dont think can really afford it unless their companies just want to designate everything to foreignersand you see any proof of this?if anything i think japanese zoomers are even worse at english than their parents in my experience
>>217701744The problem with this theory is that, with English gone there would be a need for a substitute, which is either Spanish(Only used for South America, can't be used for EU or most of Asia) or Chinese(too difficult for latin users(most of the world) to adapt to)So no, English will probably stay a lingua franca till there's an alternative to it
>>217701634Basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3e22MkTkPs
>>217703057english is already self sustaining in southeast asia and india on a pretty massive level india because since english belongs to no ethnic group it is uncontroversialand southeast asia because they need a common language which can tie themselves together he doesnt get that and thinks it's just due to american soft power and even in south america there's brazil which hardly uses spanish or learns it at all
Good. English is demon speak.
The ideal Japanese is like Mishima. Patriotic, fit+lit, speaks English and French, and homosexual.
>>217701634I suspect its because Japanese own media culture is becoming ever more powerful and therefore there is less need to use learn English to access stuffalthough you are gonna still be painfully dumb about the world being monolingual and at some point its gonna bite Japan in the ass
>>217702138>less exposure to america and western crapshit doesnt work like that anyway and Japan is a good example of it. The same issues come there just with its own quirks.
>>217705847they do and you don't get full exposure even if you get a fraction of it it's a good thing and for my knowledge they have one of the most unique modern culture
>>217705912that is just because they are a big developed country that doesnt really fit into the western world it got sucked inpeople sometimes forget how similar Spanish, Italian, German, English or Swedish are and then forget how dissimilar Chinese, Japanese and Korean isjust knowing English and being a bit more educated I can get around in most of the world that speaks these languages
>>217706041korean and japanese actually have pretty similar grammarand chinese learning japanese has a huge advantage and theyre best at learning youre kinda wrong here
This is gaijin fault または何か
>>217701634Imagine if Japs started learning French doe. Shit would be hilarious >Au reviorgato >Merci-su>Bojour-ni-ga>Je suis-su
>>217706103they are not related. Some of the stuff is mixed like letters etc.you can find more similarities in Swedish and Finnish even though they are not related at allall I am saying is that this is just capitalism doing its thing and feeding itself. This is also why the US will always be at the top of the world since they will always be the most capitalistic country and it feeds itself with it the most
>>217706451maybe adding that its combination of population, language that may or may not create an unique market that creates something unique and just the developmentin some alternative world were Philippines had better run off. They might be in a situation where tagalog is a civilized language and they wouldnt eat pagpag.I think nations and their rankins currently are almost set in stone for the incoming futures but I dont know what causes it to begin with where something happens
>>217701634Wbo fucking cares, letting the japs know english would ruin the internet even more
>>217703057>there would be a need for a substituteNo learn my language if you want to do business with me.
>>217701634our whole country depends on estados unidos but we wont speak english
>>217707011we've gotten the highest amount of Macron speaking English this year man because of international issuesthe more you push the idea of unified Europe the truer it will become that just having your own language bobble wont do since that isnt the reality in most of the nation states anyway, only in the bigger onesonce certain critical mass of German boomers die off its all down hill there
>>217707101What the heck is this house for a manly cowboy mouse?! Hello you, let me out and don’t catch me like a trout!
>>217707150is this really such a bad thing?like if portuguese was the global language and not english i wouldnt mind this country at least making it an official language if not switching all together not particularly caught up on language
>>217707101this chart seems very suspicious morocco indonesia and brazil all being the same color doesnt seem very serious
>>217707226>you wouldnt mindyeah well I would argue that English isnt really your language in very ethnic sense but also if the world moved to speaking Portugusese, the Americans would be the biggest ones to oppose it. No one else.
>>217707281before trump english wasnt even technically the official languageand given how far spanish has penetrated i find your assertion bit unbelievable
it it because of how foreigners have low morals and are proud of their nuisance acts?
>>217707374you have immigrant driven language change which arguably isnt really a real thing (America will not start speaking Spanish ever because of this no matter how many immigrants get there through Mexico) and goes away through generations anyway and is also part of your countries heritage anywaywhat we are really talking about is language coming top to bottom. Not from bottom to basically nowhere anyway.
>>217703583bwc fiend
>>217707257It was conducted by EF so maybe they only got samples from upper-middle class city population.
>>217707561probablycause was about to say there's no way the brazilian population shows equal levels of english ability as indonesia
>>217707558>kills himself because racist white men wouldn’t let him suck their cocksWhy are gaijin so evil and anti-Japanese?
>>217707697Thats anglos and jews cowing in fear to their nature before the samurai.Also, >>217701745 is it English in particular that is compulsory, or just any second language? Setting aside how it difficult it may be to actually find a rated school for anything else.
>>217706337>Bojour-ni-ga
>>217701744english will stay lingua franca forever through the power of inertia & the fact that no ones gonna go through the hassle of learning mandarin
>>217709363Le français sera la lingua Franca du future à cause des taux de natalité en Afrique t. Knower
>>217707150>German boomers die off its all down hill thereAs a efl, i hope not. German english is worse than indian english
>>217701744this but i won't stop being lingua franca. most of the world will speak it and we'll remove borders n sheeeit also japs will just be replaced by jeets so english will be #1.
