🎙️ Why Japanese People Can’t Speak English — The Real Reasons

✨ Short Description

In this episode, I talk about a question many learners ask me: “Why do Japanese people struggle to speak English?” I also speak a little Kansai dialect so you can hear how I usually talk in real life.

✍️ Episode Details

I explain the main reasons Japanese people can’t speak English well: lack of speaking practice, fear of mistakes, and little daily-life need for English. I also share why some Japanese people act cautiously around foreigners.
