DAMN, japanese farm people have computers?, even their farms have technology

[laoshu505000]

@AznAndy562 hahaha! I guess so.

Did you call him Mr. University (Daigaku) instead of Daigo? LOL. And props for being multilingual. I am as well and many people can't even speak their own language properly.

[laoshu505000]

@xRoughRidersx I'm sorry master. I will try and do a better job next time

[noJutsu1000]

@laoshu505000 nailing good asian dialect/accent is challenging. i'm korean and speak korean and english, but mostly english. i took 3 chinese courses in college and as an english speaker, the sounds are kind of tough.

@caliento012 In Japanese, it's really easy to say something incorrectly so it sounds like you're saying something else, where a completely harmless statement becomes insulting. I'm sure that Daigo was able to pick up that his Japanese was a little sloppy and he knew that, given the scenario and context of the conversation, that the camera man was not deliberately trying to insult Daigo. This video inspires me to learn Japanese. Keep at it Mr. camera man :)

Did you say "inakappe dane" to him?!?!? I am surprised he did not shoryuken right through your guy!

[Morden101]

Think he does very well, such a different structure to western languages

[TibetArchive]

Next time, if there will be....just talk other stuff..besides game 24/7.... i'm sure he would be just as much happy to talk about food, drinks, girls....you know..

[SB003039]

Jesus, leave the man alone, maybe he doesn't want to talk about stupid video games all the damn time. You all say, oh he acts like a robot, well if you treat him like a robot then he's gonna act like a robot! I've never seen anyone ask him how he's feeling or anything non video game related. You people suck.

@caliento012 come to think of it.....i don't think i've ever met a mexican....they look interesting though!

[caliento012]

@jfachris  thanks for ur response.

I've also never met a mexican never cared about being called be"x"ner, especially in jail.

Haha, Jaja, LoL, (^ w ^)

Payin respect keep u safe n make everyone comfortable. that's what I said.

Languages n cultures r fun huh.

[jfachris]

@caliento012 i've never met a mexican that finds a offence to beaner. Why censor it? I'm offended because you didn't censor red neck. lol

[ushiwakamaru30]

@identikal yeah I speak Japanese, and that was a joke because it really did sound like he said Daigaku. My pronunciation is flawless (I sound Japanese) but my vocab is still far from decent. Got years of practice and dictionary-cracking ahead of me.
