So is this one

This isn't even that bad compared to the other examples in this thread.

Why is their english so bad anyways? I thought they have a good school system. It's not an excuse that japanese is that different either since that applies to alot of other countries too.

Does somebody have a picture from G Gundam where there was a sniper's scope with a caption "Rock on" instead of "Lock on"?

Damn, I really need to finish this show with giant lolis and nyan-nyan idols someday

Is it even legal t mention Adobe in this sort of things?

>It's not an excuse that japanese is that different either since that applies to alot of other countries too.
How many people from those places actually leave school with a decent level of English either? I assume anyone that wants to know another language has to put effort in outside of school.

So they learn chinese instead?

Reminds me of chinese restaurant menus

Language learning is largely a matter of putting time in, and Japs don't care enough to do that, probably because of their insular culture.

Most US schools teach Spanish, and kids can pass the classes, yet nobody actually learns it unless they want to learn.

Same deal with Japs and English, although it's even worse since English and Spanish at least share some common terms and alphabet, whereas Japs have to learn this completely different language that they never use outside of the classroom.

It doesn't help that English is an extremely poorly made language which is riddled with inconsistency on top of contradictions, and a shit ton of learning English is just "this is just how it is".

The fact that the foreign English teacher stereotype exists is a testament to how little Nips care about English.

>All the anons making excuses for nips with nonsense like "English is a shit language"
Nips are just lazy and inconsiderate of other cultures.

>good school system
Objectively wrong. And their English teachers are actual losers from anglo countries. Rejects with yellow fever paid minimum wage. It's legitimately awful.

To be fair my english teachers were bad too and I only had to learn it myself so I could read manga.

It's not as if most other countries are any better.
How many native english speakers are bilingual?

You don't learn a language in school. I took years of spanish and have hardly retained any of it due to the lack of a need to. I passed all my math classes but that doesn't mean i retained all of it.

Evangelion does this for some of its computer screentext. Not so much Engrish as it is copypasting unrelated text and changing some of the nouns into terms relevant to NGE.

So for my fellow ESLfags did you actually put in any effort into learning to speak english?
Like did you go out of your way to practice speaking and reading the language or did you just pick it up over the years while consuming english media like reading english translated mango and playing vidya?

They're mostly incels with yellow fever

If you read Japanese words you realize it's probably a "difference in consciousness". The Japanese just kind of spell things however they want because Kanji have special sounds and words associated with them, so systems like hiragana that are syllabic can be based partially on how the speaker themselves hears the words. There are obviously standards, but once you get into Katakana it becomes "however best we think it fits the word we're trying to say". Have multiple different ways to write the same word due to three different scripts being in operation means the Japanese play fast and loose with scriptural rules, so they probably are less aware of the nature of English as an alphabetic language where there is generally only a single way you should write a word (dialectical differences notwithstanding).

English is the lingua franca, even if you wanted to be bilingual 8/10 times the people you're talking to in a major foreign city would be able to direct you to someone who knows english rather than allow you to use your language skills. It's only a problem if you're trying to order a big mac in el paso.

I'm in immigrant to an English country. I learned a fair bit of English in my native country so. I'd say that I was able to make myself understood (with some extra effort on the part of both parties) and understand most people from day 1. I had trouble understanding people with accents or those who spoke too quickly. It's been 7 years and I'd say I'm as good as a native 99% of the time.

Dumb

The English teachers are generally people with bachelor's degrees, however you need a higher degree to teach advanced language especially in universities. TESOL is a requirement and the companies which contract you require you to follow THEIR plan, so blaming the English teachers for the shitty plans the companies come up with is retarded. In the end it's because kids are expected to learn some grammar and vocab and pass the test with enough to not fail and that's that, English is a novelty rather than a real requirement and Japanese society is molded based off the Chinese imperial examination model where the final exam/entrance exam/job exam is more important than actually being able to do the work. I think it's a better system than Anglo countries where "knowing someone" is the best way to get hired.

I had some tutoring outside of curriculum at a private institute for some years, but I mostly learned through acculturation. MMORPGs, some roleplaying games and forums and a British LPer I've watched for most of those years (I no longer do though, I'm far past that phase). By high school the additional lessons stopped and I considered myself fluent in English, but I'm still learning to this day.

Barth is a surname

You'd figure they would at least spell check it or throw it into a translator.

>Like did you go out of your way to practice speaking
my brazil friend forced me to speak, never thought of fully commiting into it, and eventually stopped because of funny stereotypical accent im slav
i admit its much harder then just texting

I was one of the best of my class both in middle and high school, I had fun during lessons and studying it was never that hard. I feel like not putting it into practice when I got out of school (except for that time I visited UK), has damaged it though.
Last year I got an IELTS certificate, and even though I had no one to practice verbal conversations with, I passed it with a decent score. The written part was not extremely difficult.
Certainly consuming media in English, as well as chatting with native speakers, helped as well past my school time.

This and it feels bad. I was in french immersion for all 13 years of grade school and got good marks. I also got in shit all the time and passed time in detentions going over all the french grammatical guides on the walls. But years after graduating I'm nowhere near fluent.
At some point long after graduating I realized I'd always viewed french as more of an obnoxious puzzle than an actual language and proceeded to try actually thinking in french, and just a couple hours of that drastically improved the "fluency" I'd developed over years of mindless schooling. And it was like this for every other student as well. It's honestly fucked up and fuel for existential crisis, since learning everything in a language I barely understood also fucked up my comprehension in math, the sciences, history, every important class besides english (because they didn't give enough of a shit about phys ed or the arts to find french teachers for those). And it highlights how worthless grade school is, considering I had As and Bs in everything throughout.

Try to study Japanese and you'll understand why their English is so bad. Three different writing systems, one of which is archaic and is just a bunch of random strokes, words borrowed from English which sound nothing like how they would be pronounced in English.

A lot of Japanese have decent English writing skills, but speak it poorly for obvious reasons as their native tongue uses different sounds.

English isn't easy to pronounce, as it skips plenty of consonants in its words, and vowels having inconsistently different pronunciations, so you're not quite sounding everything out after learning the alphabet, like in Spanish.

Plenty of words mean the same thing, and a bunch of other problems.

I think you can only really become fluent when you live in the country and have to use it every day.

I think the problem that classes are useful for learning the words of a language, how and why it behaves the way it does, etc. but the only way to actually become fluent is to speak it and consume media in that language. If you don't you'll get worse and worse at it.

>did you just pick it up over the years while consuming english media like reading english translated mango and playing vidya?
Pretty much this. I started playing video games and surfing the web at a young age, but there was very little content available in my native language, so I didn't really have much choice. Benefits of growing up in a small European country, I guess.

This thread is about writing skills though. Everyone is bad at pronouncing english it's too weird compared to most languages.
