He does mention on Chris Jericho's podcast that spanish is a lot easier to speak than english. I'm sure it's because the rolling R in spanish is much easier for a japanese person to say than the english R.

André Salazar Yes. Like the spanish word for garbage "basura" sounds like some kind of japanese demon. I'm in no way saying that Nakamura is garbage. All I'm saying is that Basura will rip you in half very slowly if you enter his woods at night.
His English is really coming along, talk about being thrown in at the deep end. He's doing an amazing job.
please don't bully Nakamura for his bad English.... I am also Japanese desu. and Our language system is completely different from English. He is trying to adjust America. English is the most difficult language on earth for us. please understand that.

Have to give Shinsuke Nakamura 10/10 for what looked like loads of effort to find the words he wanted to say. Seems like a sweet guy.
i have so much respect for Shinsuke going around without a translator because he's trying to throw himself into the deep end so it helps him learn faster

As a guy from New Jersey living in Japan as an English teacher and actively learning Japanese, I give kudos to Shinsuke on his English. He's actively trying and his vocabulary is coming along. Remembering the words sometimes is a challenge, Lord knows it's the same for me here.

For only starting to learn English a little over a year ago... Pretty damn good! He's actually knows more than I thought. 👍👍👍
His English is fine. People shouldn’t make a big deal out if something. It takes time to perfect any language but he will get it...major props to him.
Dude could barely speak a word of english this time last year. So much respect. Dude is clearly one of the most intelligent people in the business.

Kenny asked Nakamura a behind the scenes question and got a kayfabe answer. That's great.
"What is your relationship like with Vince?" Shinsuke: I need to say very carefully. That pretty much answered the question.
Shinsuke Nakamura and Sin Cara, wow I want to be a part of that group!
I love Shinsuke
What a fucking legend. This guy made me actually start watching wrestling live again.
I can understand him just fine. You guys be hatin'.
His english is fine as a second language speaker.
I'm happy for him.
props to shinshuke for understand kenny's accent. not a jab towards kenny but imagine being japanese and learning a new language then a guy with a completely different accent than what you've learned comes and interviews you. many would struggle
He seems like such a cool dude nakamura love the interview kenny.
Holy shit Huge respect for him he knows English but the scent is holding him back the fact that he kinda learning Spanish as well best wrestler
Nakamura is amazing
I admire him for speaking English, it is more admirable for somebody to learn a language even if it is a small steps than not to make the jump.

awwww he's awesome he can speak a little Spanish be still my heart
Shinsuke V AJ for the title would be my dream Mania match. They tore it up at WrestleKingdom 10.
Vaya nakamura pudo decir poquitoen español , buena king of strong styles ( well nakamura can say "poquito" on spanish, well done
Dude, why not give him a manager to do the promos, and let the knees do the talking in the ring? It would immediately fix his promo problem and add to his mystique! Then when he occasionally grabbed the mic himself to last down a one liner the crowd would totally pop!

I actually like some of his promos. On NXT they were even better. I remember against Balor, he just said: "You are an Icon of NXT. If I want to be icon, I beat ... YOU" He was straight to the point and it wasn't cringey as in the main roster

Nakamura learning a language is so hard and especially English cause there's so many words for one thing, please don't worry about your English cause you are speaking it very well, just keep learning and to all the people who hate the way he speaks GO LEARN JAPANESE
hard to accept that he got beaten by a former jobber with only two moves and a finisher with less impact them Cena's AA
Great stuff
His English is better compared to other Japanese wrestlers in the WWE.
I feel sorry for shinsuke he's so great in the ring but the language barrier is such a big deal especially on the main roaster he needs a gimmick where he doesn't need to talk he needs someone like Paul hayman or possibly enzo in the brand split

itsbrimbram Oh I think he's learning quite quickly with his english speaking. I wasn't trying to be negative about it or anything. I was just basically saying to the OP "Duh."
Shinsuke predicted his WrestleMania match at Inside the Ropes.
I'm glad to see his english is starting to get there
Nakumura is a Legend... 99% People who hate him because he don't have proper Mic skills....
Class act!
It's really painful how little English Shinsuke knows but still one of the greatest wrestlers
I want to see shinsuke and asuka team up against charlotte and Aj styles. i think that would be an epic!
i think akira tozawa is surprisingly wayyy better in speaking english than many would assume
I thought this would kill the appeal of his mystique, but not at all. I enjoyed the interview. Of course his English is good, why would you guys be suprised. Even if it wasn't, his English is better than most of your Japanese will ever be. When asked about Vince he said, "I need to say very careful" hahaha. Now that is a universal language.
Hell get better but he's so good he don't need to talk. He need to just sit in the crowd like when sting first came
I’m from the U.K and here we like the Japanese culture more and language. Especially me. I’ve learnt so much just from dragon ball, naruto and Baki 😂🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Sensitive
Shinsuke got the collie flower ear
I definately would rather see him on raw because i believe there is better talent that would make great matches but smackdown needs storylines to make him great
New Japan is my favourite promotion and actually got me back into wrestling after a very long stint away. Nakamaura was my guy in NJPW and is the only reason I began watching WWE again. As I've said before I have no idea who's to blame but he is a shell of his former self. Is Nakamura just looking at WWE as semi retirement?

"I need to be very careful" Indication on who Vince is backstage?
His English is getting a lil bit better still needs some work I'm pretty sure he is prolly picking up Spanish a lil faster then English
He doesn't actually speak like this he sounds like john cena!
its amazing to think one of the greatest wrestlers in this era got defeated by a overhyped joke champion known as mahal, we need nakamura as champion,

Guys, his accent aside (with all due respect), did you guys notice that, when the host asked him about his relationship with Vince, Shinsuke was actually kind of Uncomfortable and kind of Nervous? He took time answering his question, also said that he needs to be careful around Vince. Is it true that Vince is a Bully, or even a psychopath? Also, Vince likes to ruin all great superstars. Shinsuke is one of them. I won't be surprised if shinsuke leaves wwe, for what wwe has done to him. Turned him heel for no reason. And didn't even let him win the WWE title until NOW!
Idk bout u guys but his English is pretty good n hey at least he is trying n learn some English
Everyone bitching about his English needs to go and listen to the Jericho Podcast he was the guest in. He speaks fine enough English, He doesn't need to say much before literally kicking your ass, that's how it needs to be
People need managers, like there is only 2 Maryese and Paul heyman, people that are good in the ring that aren't the best on the mic need more managers for example nakuamura and Cesaro.
The creative department is at fault and why Nakamura is struggling let him do his own thing. He was outstanding in nxt If Vince can't see that he's a total melt. The shite they are currently churning out weekly needs to change. The Rosters are stacked Ballor Samoa joe Rollins nakamura styles now Benjamin WWE does have amazing talent worrying where they are be aloud to go. Only the writers and Vince can sort this out......
Nakamura was really struggling in this interview. In most other ones his English is decent. Much love still Shinsuke
he needs an advocate
shinsuke is still struggling with articles but very good otherwise nice english man
I don't understand why everyone is making fun of Nakamura's speaking abilities. English is not his first language and hell he's learning how to speak spanish. As an American, ask any other American if they can speak another language. Most Americans simply refuse to learn another language. Also we all know Nakamura is being watched right now by Vince regarding the question about their relationship. Also botches happen all the time, i love it how Vince jumped down Nakamura's throat when John Cena landed on his head, Nakamura apologized multiple times to John Cena and everyone knows he didn't do it on purpose. During that spot, it was just 2 wrestlers performing a move wrong and Cena was temporary knocked out but he was fine after a few seconds.

If I was american, I probably wouldn't learn another language If I didn't had to. We are all learning English, because it's the main language, americans don't have to do that. Sure it's nice to know different languages, but you can get everywhere with english!
He speaks better English than I speak Japanese
