He said that pronouncing words in Japanese is so difficult when in fact its actually really easy. Japanese language consists of any two given letters of our alphabet to make one sound so its like reading a single two letter word. In English we pronounce one single letter as a sound. for instance if you pronounce the word "card" using the Japanese alphabet it sounds like "ka - do" where as in English alphabet you would have to sound out the "c" the soft "a" the "r" and the "d" respectively while morphing your lips mouth and everything all in one syllable. Japanese sounds extremely similar to Spanish so maybe he's talking about rolling his R's. He also mentioned that there are sounds in Japanese that are not in English which is 100% false. If anything the English language has way more sounds that Japanese does not have. why do you think Japanese people have a hard time pronouncing the "F" sound saying it like its an "H" and say the "R" sound" like it's an "L". Just because you took a test that doesn't mean you understand what you are talking about. Bottom line is you have no consideration which is cool if that's what you are trying to convey. To each his own. shout out to the Japanese language and all that.

Like I'm a dog making weird noises expecting people to understand me. which is probably why I don't have friends. and when I make videos in English I notice I sound stupid, kinda girly too, coz I try to speak like people around me.

Allow me to speak in Daniel's defense as someone who has lived in Japan a few years myself: I can totally understand Daniel not wanting to speak Japanese despite having a decent command of it. Mastering a language that differs so greatly from Western languages entails not only cramming a bunch of words and grammatical rules into your head, but also adapting a way of thinking and behaving that may feel unnatural to some. Just like Daniel, I also had a period when I was so obsessed with perfecting my Japanese - and internalizing Japanese cultural norms as an extension of that - that I did everything I could in order to become more Japanese. I deliberately avoided people who couldn't speak Japanese and tried to adjust my way of speaking, telling jokes, showing emotions etc, just to become "one of them". But once I had acquired a satisfactory level of language proficiency and integration, I started to feel that I was acting as someone who wasn't me. I don't go as far as Daniel by stopping speaking Japanese entirely even though the person I'm talking to can't speak English that well, but if he or she does have some comprehension of it, I'd choose English over Japanese any day of the week.

Easy to judge him because most of you don't live in Japan... Speaking Japanese in Japan will only make life more complicated and you will remain a foreigner in their eyes no matter what... so why even bother? Sadly, to speak Japanese fluently you need to be ready to fully absorb the culture and adopt a certain way of thinking... It's foolish to think that fluency can be obtained without complete immersion in the culture, but by doing so, you may risk losing some of your true identity.

I do understand some of your reasons, like feeling shy or an idiot. I feel the same way when I try to speak in English (my main language is Spanish). But if you're planning to live in Japan, you should try to get out of your comfort zone and speak Japanese. You can start your conversations by saying that is not your main language but you'll try your best. The other person will be grateful and will try to make it easier for you if they can. I feel like that when a tourist speaks to me in Spanish.

I mean, most of his arguments are stupid but I understand some of them. I can speak French and Italian but I'm pretty shy and therefore I often speak English when I'm in France/Italy. I really WANT to speak French/Italian, but I'm just afraid that people will judge me or that my French/Italian is so bad that they won't understand. I definitely need more confidence. 😅

That’s a very interesting thought you’re sharing, I also hate speaking Japanese now. My Japanese coworkers expect me to act out Japanese manners perfectly but it feels like acting and not really be myself. As for the vagueness, I was surrounded by Japanese so much now the few foreign people around tell me I don’t make sense and speak as unclearly as a Japanese. They get annoyed and avoid me, and Japanese on the side push me to be more and more Japanese sometimes it feels like losing my mind
