>> [_] Anon 3109129 >># Similar to the "Hungry?" commercials that Snickers trots back out every few years in between diet fads. Who is that American general? Voice sounds familiar, maybe Chris Pratt? Definitely the sort of American celebrity spot the Japanese love to do.

>> [_] Anon 2976027 English education in japan is so fucked up. You often have highschool teachers who barely speak any english themselves.
>> [_] Anon 2976036 Reminds me of cromartie.
>> [_] Anon 2976040 >># Japan is for Japanese people. Why should they learn english?
>> [_] Anon 2976048 >># Because they are occupied by the US since WWII
>> [_] Anon 2976049 >># Who's arguing that? We're just saying their English is shit. If you're going to make something a required class then the people who teach it should at least be able to speak it themselves.
>> [_] Anon 2976057 >># English, whether anyone likes it or not, is the global language. In international airs and waters, pilots and captains speak English to each other, regardless of their native language. Most documents which are required to trade countries more than a dozen times a year are habitually in English. Most I.D's have English on them.
>> [_] Anon 2976059 >># The problem with having native Japanese people teach English is that going from fluent Japanese to English is much more difficult due to how many more unique sounds the English language has, whereas a fluent English speaker would have significantly less trouble recreating Japanese phonetics. There's also the issue of underqualified Enlgish-speakers who go to Japan to specifically teach English; when your only marketable skill is speaking the language you grew up with chances are you won't be able to teach it well.
>> [_] Anon 2976068 >># I don't disagree that it's probably more difficult at the start (but then again becoming fluent in any language is an endeavor), but that begs the question: is it a valid excuse? I know plenty of Chinese and Japanese people who can speak English wonderfully. The only difference between them and the shitty teachers is that they actually put in the time to listen to and speak the language. All I'm saying is that if someone wants to be a teacher, they should put in the effort to be able to effectively teach their subject. If you don't want to do that, then go be a carpenter or something. And I think if they were held to a higher standard it wouldn't be such an issue. So what's the problem? The country as a whole doesn't seem to place much value in English proficiency - is that because of their isolationist/superior attitude? Dunno, food for thought.
>> [_] Anon 2976088 I would not have guessed that this is an ad for noodles.

This is hardly an "issue" since these "teachers" don't do any actual teaching. They literally serve as the teacher's pet gaijin.
