Japanese Dont need english, they have their awesome economy and technological genius. Science and math are the ONLY LANGUAGE AND our Path to SALVATION.

Speaking is not considered important in East Asia. Tests are based on reading, writing, and some listening. I want to hear him speak Japanese considering they don't teach it in his country from an early age. lol

English in Japan is still generally taught by Japanese teachers, with very poor pronunciation. She like many might be able to read english with some skill, however conversing is difficult as they have very little (correct) spoken instruction. Theres simply not enough native English speakers in Japan to teach the correct spoken form to everyone.

Very sad, but this is the truth of the Japanese education system. Really, this girl isn't stupid, she's simply a product of the system. What is touching about this is that usually people like this are simultaneously proud of the English the do know while being super embarrased by the fact they know so little after studying for so long. It's a shame the Japanese system will not change at all any time soon and this trend will continue.

@ZequeZ1 Well, if you really are from Argentina, then your english is not bad. You must be an internet addict then. I know I am one.

@FudgeDread I agree wholeheartedly, and thank you for saying it.

@gordox As a possibility before mocking people. Maybe 1 hour per week as an extra curricular activity (night class) or something. Make 52 hours per year for 7 years, thats 364 possible hours of contact. Average school working around 7 hours a day 5 days a week is 35 hours. Divide her 364 contact hours by the full time education hours of around 35 per week is 10.4 weeks. That works out to just over two and a half months full time. I'd like to see you learn Japanese that fast in that time.

@y007ism i believer the "correct" term is "Engrish", not politically correct but as a general reference to English spoken with a (usually) Asian accent. :)

that's not true...she just repeat the question and make sure if she's going to answer properly.

@Ottexr Indeed, but I must differ that in less degree, since the interaction is way more in the Internet.
If you don't live in an English-speaking country, to properly learn English you have to become an Internet addict.
