Hi dear Feilong, I am so glad to get to hear your self-intro and I can say you have good command of english - and you have an open mind - and thats what our world needs now! Crossculture would sure narrow the gaps between nations and promote friendship, and when friendship and empathy for each other prevails, this world is a better place! lets sing to world peace! Best Wishes! Mike
Thanks a lot for your nice comment. I am also very glad to have got acquanited with you on the cyberspace thanks to the development of information technology. In time I will sure come to Hong Kong to meet you in person, and let's sings songs together for the world peace!
Is it true, sir, that Japanese people do not always appreciate European people's attempts to learn their language and would prefer them often not to try? Someone told me this, but it sounds strange to me.
The British people have more than 400 years history of using English in cross-border business, thereby having know-how of teaching it to a variety of peoples in the world whereas Japanese have only about 50 years or less history in doing so. That is the part of the reason why Japanese want to use English in carrying out international business.
But you have also a long history of trading and exchanging ideas with China. In those periods of history, Japanese people also tended to learn chinese and even borrow the kanji and the On-readings of the kanji for making Japanese words and not try to spread the Japanese language. Why was this?
It's an interesting question. Japanese have received civilizations passively from foreign countries including China. It's habit is imbedded into our genes. Even now Japanese are not active in explaining about what Japan is to foreigners, and that's what I have been doing.
i attended osaka university and now own a successful business in miami florida i miss japan very much and will move back when i retire i find your 7 tips on japanese business most useful thank you for your helpful video
I didn't realize that you posted your comment on my video. I do appreciate that a lot. Now I haven't uploaded videos on my YouTube site because I am a little to busy with consulting business, but anyway I will do that in time. I hope that you sometimes come back to my site.
I gave two lectures about crosscultural communication at Osaka University. I may come to Florida early next year (2009). If possible I would like to meet you there.
Good job!
