I'm English and I live in the UK. I once had a foreign client who would often use the term 'I don't care' in emails. I realised straight away that he really meant 'I don't mind'. It was no big deal. Most native english speakers are very used to hearing non natives speaking English. We don't expect you to be absolutely perfect and that's fine, we can still understand you and mostly we'll just be impressed that you're able to speak our language. Most of us don't speak a second language ourselves, so being multilingual seems very impressive to us.

@@EternalQuestion one thing I learned as a non native English speaker is to never say "what" when I don't quite understand something. I was told to say "please say again" instead. I think that the "what" really irks native speakers

I remember we got laughed at by students at my exchange high school in Osaka because we spoke so formally but my Japanese teacher always told us that it’s important to know how and when to use formal and casual phrases because of situations like your email! The students later asked us how often we use the word “scrumptious” because they had just learned it and we all shared a laugh at the fact that no one actually uses this word but it is fun to say. 😅

Some possible topics I’d be interested in hearing about: how you researched jobs, what getting your visa was like(I’m assuming you have a work visa?), what jobs are available to foreigners(and how competitive they are), the location of most jobs, what you do at your job(more in depth), tips for getting a job in Japan, an in depth look at your educational career that got you to where you are now, and how being a foreigner aids/hinders your work marketing for a Japanese company.

Children raised in dysfunctional families with alcoholic, narcissist, or otherwise abusive parents seem to exhibit similar hypervigilance, constantly focused on the reaction of others. This dysfunctional outlook on life is taught starting in pre-school, where there is an inordinate emphasis on the "Group" -- working together, fitting in, sacrificing your individual will, and so on. Lots of rules, rules, and more rules. No flexibility for anyone that colors outside the lines. It is a great model for getting things done, achieving a safe and orderly place to live, and subjugating any trouble-makers in society, but it is also oppressive. Conformance is too often achieved through social/group pressure that resembles bullying. In my 20+ years in Japan I have rarely met individuals I did not like, but the "group" and society can exhibit mob traits that can feel callous, brutal, or even abusive to an outsider used to more individual freedom. Almost all Japanese are educated using the same curriculum and same social values/expectations, so they are often baffled by barbarians not knowing the extensive unwritten rules they are raised with.

@@Mwoods2272 That is a job SPECIFICALLY made for foreigners lol. What I am talking about are normal jobs that the average Japanese person has, like working in an office

Everyone is impressed by your positive attitude, supportive and encouraging approach to promoting learning language and travel and being bold enough to talk to people from another culture, and deservedly so. But I wanted to express how impressed I am with your video skills. Over the last couple of years, I've seen a significant although sometimes subtle improvement in your editing, composition, and camera work! Your lighting is very good lately, your decisions about whether and when to add soundtrack, choices about how much time to spend in a particular scene, all are reaching a truly professional level. I'm impressed.

Thank you so much! I’m really glad that you noticed the improvements in production quality. I’ve been learning a lot.

Have been looking forward to this video !! I’m sure I will enjoy, have a great day Angming :)

I am going to have my daughter watch this as she is trying to learn Japanese.

@@OrientalPearl she wants to visit and the possibilities could include doing similar to what you do. We are thinking possibly next year of going sometime. She is coming 13, so she has awhile but want to embrace her journey.

You’re moving on up in the business world. The hotel looks great with a youthful feel to it. Now just don’t let those honorifics take you down! 😂

Who knows where it will lead 😊

Saw your recent post about subscriber struggles. Selfishly I hope you will keep at it. I am learning Persian and one day hope to be as fluent as you are in Japanese. You inspire people, don’t give up!

Thanks! I promise not to give up.

I like this video. It really opens up your eyes to different cultures. Thanks for doing this.

Maybe content about getting a job in Japan would be interesting too! My half year of job hunting experience was hell and I'm sure most Japanese think about it in a similar way 😩 Also the process itself is completely different to Germany for example. (Btw I also only just started at a Japanese company here 3 months ago! 頑張ろう❗😊)

I would love to make a video about the job hunting process here for foreigners.

+10 for more vids about working in a Japanese marketing firm! (I was kinda amazed by how uncrowded the trains were. Is that because of COVID? I’ve been there many times and have almost never seen train cars that empty unless I was pretty far out from the main part of Tokyo. But it seemed they were pretty empty even close to your work location.)

@@OrientalPearl Ah - that sounds more like my experience there, other than late at night (except last train 😮) or more on the outskirts :-) What general area do you live in? (If you’re comfortable saying even approximately.) Years ago I used to stay around the south Ginza/Shimbashi area, but more of my friends and places I like to go are on the west side, so lately I like Shinjuku a lot (I know, my biz contacts tend to raise their eyebrows when I tell them I’m staying on the fringes of Kabukicho, but I like the younger more lively there :-) Also sometimes Shibuya, near the New South Gate, sometimes in Osaki, as it’s cheaper and fewer gaijin around :-) Shit, I miss Japan, neh 😢 I can’t wait till the whole COVID mess gets over with…

Oh seems a very entertaining format! Amazing video!!

Your so inspirational! I’ve been wanting to learn Japanese for a while now and I’m getting to it. Right now I’m learning hiragana. I hope to learn the rest. I also find it so cool that you reply and notice everyone’s comment. You’re a great person, I look forward to move vids.
