It will be a big waste of time to learn English well. I'm sorry to disappoint. I think you can learn it best from karaoke, nature documentary, david attenborough, that kind of thing.

>I wouldn't feel unfairness for learning too much different language from my own
You can [NOT] learn english
I can [NOT] learn japanese
We're in the same boat.

the ability to speak english is the best indicator to distinguish decent people from dumb idiots
we learn english for years in compulsory education and it's considered to be the most important subject of all, which just means that those who cannot speak it well are fucking subhumans less than even a maggot
i don't consider those being unable to speak english as actual people
they're just subhumans

it makes more sense for you to learn chinese. english is overrated

...

>tfw all other countries have a large bilingual population
>I can just barely speak a bit of spanish and some ASL

ahhhhh.

Love benefitting from neo-imperialism.

You can be fluent in english in 6 months by watching as much movies a tv shows without subtitles. I did this and it works, you are welcome.

Fuck off

I was surprised at how few schools teach Chinese here. In Ireland we had to learn two foreign languages... well, one and Irish...

Learn deutsch then you whiny nip bitch.

Also playing videogames. Epecially CSGO where you can chat with your teammates. I've spent +1000 hours playing it and my english speaking skills have improved quite a lot.

No. Japan should just stop teaching English so fucking poorly. Recitation competitions are hilariously pointless, and there is absolutely no focus on immersion or non-rote core vocabulary competency. They don’t use anything like spaced repetition and instead insist on shitty linear progression.

Japan teaches languages, including their own, in one of the least efficient ways possible. Class room learning is terrible for all languages.

english is nigger tier

Ye and u can't even speak that. Imagine having to learn anything harder.
I mean you're the simplified version of nigger tier.

The only way to truly learn a language is immersion and you know you've "got it" when your dreams are in said language.

I grew up in a Fr/En bilingual family, and it really is like having two partitions in your brain.

my fellow nipon friend in spain they teach us english since we are 3 years old in school however most of the people who finish it at 16 its unable to speak it

Japan don't want their poeple talking with American and importing trash like feminist or socialism.

you're not a white man. why are you learning a white man's language? do you want us to fuck your women or something? grow a fucking pair of balls.

shitpost

ok

You're probably some weeb visiting and shitting all over the culture with your acne, but if you're actually a nihonnigger, then I think those English lessons are doing you very well and you should shut the fuck up about it.

You wanna learn Spanish? I can teach you Spanish.

No just make easier your language and learn more thing won't be exhausting. You have too many alphabets to learn. Use less kanji too.

I don't think it should be required. But then you'd lose your job.

Unnecessarily complicated and utterly useless outside Europe.
You're better off learning Portuguese over German.
>t. wasted 2 years of uni learning a shit dialect when I could've taken French or Mandarin

Hope Japan gasses you 5th column inflitrators, aka english teachers.

>nobody takes me seriously for bein engurish teacher

The best way to learn a language is to watch TV. (once you have minimum base vocabulary)
Especially at a young age when you can still learn not to turn a word like "street" into something like "ストリト"
Learning to distinguish and pronounce sounds is something that would have to happen in early kindergarten when Japanese children are still able to distinguish R and L sounds.
Teaching it in school will not remove this main problem Japanese have when speaking english. (and most other languages)

Kanji is necessary to make it possible to understand written Japanese.
There were attempts to change to the Latin alphabet, but as many Japanese words sound the same due to the lack of possible consonant combinations limiting the amount of possible words, this attempt only ended up being very confusing...
(A differentiation of pronunciation of words like bridge and chopsticks only exists in theory... with Japanese actually only having a 50/50 chance of getting it right when trying

just english for me, I had something like half a year of spanish classes every other day when I was in school but we didn't learn enough to actually be useful in any way and I remember pretty much none of it

watering can
there's some site that asks you what you call things and then matches you to the regional dialects you're closest to, it might have been from the new york times, sounds like bullshit but you grow up hearing what people call things and repeat it so there are some actual differences

This is the modern day standard for a decent human.

Having lived there most my life:
Japan should absolutely not speak English, not even learn correct English.

Japanese language is very much tied to its culture. Open that up, and it's exposed to cultural decimation from outside forces. It wouldn't be long until Japan would face the exact same problems like many western countries do right now.

Foreign forces not being able to understand the culture is what keeps Japan safe. Better yet, as a secondary safety foreign forces need dedicated learning of the language to understand the language, and when they do, come to understand (even appreciate) the Japanese norms that many outside people object to, like overtime work / social rankings / gaman / groupthink / more.

Things is, You guys are self-standing enough not to NEED outside influence (media politcs) like we do, I also measure somebodies English on wheter they are dumb or not simply because English is our second language, Cartoons untill 2003 ran in English dub with dutch subtitles, Im from 94 and i speak perfect english (my writing has always been crap)

pic related is mine, a mix of where I live now (which is where my mom grew up), where my dad grew up, and the general region I grew up in, although that one isn't a perfect fit

had a friend in college who would accidentally switch between them in the middle of a sentence without thinking, but I think that's somewhat rare and most people keep it separated like you

English is fucking easy. If I could learn it, so can you. Don't give up nipbro.

dude your English is pretty good,if you wanna improve your spoken English,go to an English speaking country and stay there,4 months later you will be good.

and you know why you shouldnt go to Europe

aw by the way Jap user,if you are learning English in a country outside Japan,dont talk to people from your country,try to make some local friends

Japanese have a huge problem with pronouncing other languages.
If you spend you first 8 years of life never adding 2 consonants together it'll be hard to doe so when you get older.
To Japanese most spoken languages are as much of a tongue-twister as Chinese is for the rest of the world, while it's not impossible for them to learn it, it takes a lot of practice to pronounce... (that to my knowledge the Japanese curriculum doesn't cover)
While many on Sup Forums will be able to speak Japanese but hate learning kanji ... Japanese are often able to write English very well but hit a wall when trying to speak it.

That's honestly pretty common. When you speak with other people with the same set of languages, you'll swap between them as is most efficient/convenient. Usually to use a word that doesn't have an equivalent, some sort of idiom, because it's faster, flows better or just because you can't remember the word. With English and French, we call it Frenglish or Franglais, depending on which language you're speaking at that time.
Sometimes, your brain can only do certain tasks in one language and then you translate. For instance, whenever I cycle through months, I do it in French and translate the result. My mother can only do Math in English and then translates to French. It's weird.

Long term, I think we'll see words that are difficult to write in romaji will slowly fade away, being replaced with either new Japanese words or just adopting foreign words for it.

That's true of all languages. Ask a native English speaker to roll his R's like we do in French. It's hilarious.

A lettuce

The difference for Japanese is, that while among European languages there is a difference of pronunciation and a few missing sounds (like the german "ch"- throat clearing noise, or french lacking an audible "h")
The Japanese in addition lack being used to combine consonants, so while we'd be able to say: "ftprtzkpmpkf" with the respective accent, a Japanese will try to insert "futsupurutsuzuku ...." as there are vowels missing always present in the Japanese language. (except for after the "n" but not the "m" sound)

No, no. You see, in da French langage, you don't pronounce da letter HACHE when it is dere, but you pronounce it w'en it hisn't. :)
But yeah, that really comes down to the writing system for them. They don't practice the consonants on their own as children.

Haha why the heck are japbros so bad at english ?
I was training these guys from japan(sort of like a crash course in English for employees from Japan so that they don't get left behind interacting with English speaking clients), and in the middle of the session, I ask them if they know the meaning of the word "split" . Now keep in mind, I already had to enunciate every word, speak really, really slowly like talking to a kid. All I got was puzzled faces. I spelled it out, wrote it on the board, nothing. Then it turns out they didn't knew the meaning of the word "meaning".

underrated

That would be ideal, since the majority of academic discourse today (publications) are written in English. Want your paper to be read? It needs to be in English.

vattenkanna

I understand that Japanese have a hard time learning European languages, but are English Proficiecy exams really this easy? We had this level of english in Elementary.
