I do not know this man and the last thing I want is personally attacking someone who’s doing his best and tries to communicate in a foreign language. Like you I think it’s highly honorable.

But this is something that really bothers me.

2.

thoughts and opinions in a way that isn’t too hard to understand. If not I expect him to a) use another language and get an interpreter, b) write the questions he wants to ask down correctly and learn to read them fluently, c) let someone else do the interview.

It’s a shame that people on German streets speak much better English than their spokesmen and women, their politicians and their journalists, when this is clearly part of their job as mediators and representatives.

@reverendprophet Thank you. :) And here is my answer: If Japanese was something close to a universal language, the interviewer employed by a multi-national publishing house and the interview meant to be released as PR footage, then yes, I do think he should be able to have a proper conversation with that author. Because, frankly, that is his job. I do not expect him to speak a language that isn't his without any accent and without any mistakes,but I do expect him to be able to express his

@narilaray Ok. I'll bite.... I don't know your cultural identity. However, since you are posting about not being able to understand the guy in the video, I assume you are english speaking and likely from North America. (People in europe get exposed to multiple languages from birth due to the close proximity of european nations and therefore should have less trouble than I do understanding the gentleman through his accent. I'm an American and *I* have no trouble understanding him, btw.)

[narilaray]

@reverendprophet Because you support your question with something you assume about me, and I don't like that.

Also, of course you have an opinion on that subject. We wouldn't be talking otherwise. I'm glad you do and I don't mind. Quite the contrary.

Don't worry, my answer to your question is already written. I just haven't posted it yet.

@narilaray: I have no opinion on that subject. Why not answer the question I posed before asking one of your own?
