you're right ~ Alot of Japanese people know English VERY well, but are afraid to use because like all older people learning a different language, if you don't use it you are afraid to use it when time comes.

When I was teaching english in Japan, I had lots of students who had a good grasp of the language, but the pronouciation was TERRIBLE.

And if you write to them, they can reply perfectly.

Like all language, conversation requires practice.

I have a mailfriend in Japan and we (of course) write eachother in english. She once told me about this American guy she really liked, but after a while they ended their "relationship" because they didn't understand each other. He couldn't speak japanese and her english was really bad. I was really surprised cause in her mails to me she writes perfect english. I asked her about it at she confermed what my teacher told me - many japanese are afraid to speak english, and with no practice it turns out really bad.

ohh that is actually I sad story...well it fits perfectly into Japanese attitude that they will be too shy to speak the language when they think they aren`t perfect.

It's kinda like the movie Only I can Hear you type of thing

I had an email-friend myself, He was from Japan as well and his letters were very hard to read sometimes because he used the wrong lettering of things. The sentence would be meant to say one thing but I always read it differently. lol.

Well I guess there are those who work very hard to learn it and some of those who are learn half heartily.

Well learning a new language is always hard no matter what language you are learning.

Because of lot of the sounds that exsists in english does not exsist in Japanese and so the Japanese pronouce alot of the english really Japanese.

Dream Translation:

You have been nostalgic for the past. You may even wish to go back for some reason or another, but you cant Your childhood "wish" of an alternate ideal reality may symbolize your wishing to obtain the unobtainable.

You're dreams are ultimately about change...avoiding it....looking for it...going through it...and worse yet wishing to change something in your past.


The geek dream beats me.... Maybe you over analyze things like me....
