Posted in: Pronunciation anxiety: Many Japanese people don’t want to speak English unless it’s perfect See in context
Hey little bear, Maybe they are being falsely led. You bring up an interesting point. I believe there may be some persistent students that may start to watch movies, read books in English, read the Japanese-English dictionary. Everyone has the potential to reach their goal, even if they are limited by financial barriers at school, social norms,etc. Fredrick Douglas a completely different person and in a different situation did not let adversity consume him and eventually got very far. So, basically with enough drive, passion, and persistence these Japanese students can get far in life. Time and money are the two concepts we must learn to handle, but they don't limit us. We are all limitless. I would love to hear more of your insights on the Japanese culture and it's people.

Posted in: Increasing number of Japanese ditching traditional attitudes about weddings and funerals See in context
I wonder if the opinions of the Japanese about weddings in real life match what directors add in their manga and anime. There are similarities, because in America there are the big wedding ceremonies, the court marriage, cohabitating, or single life for the rest of your life. I wonder what the Japanese think of cohabitating? I feel that people should do what pleases them and their partner or with single life just themselves. Everyone was raised differently and has their own absolute truth. I would love to hear about anyone's experience in Japan or with Japanese people in Japan. I like hearing about these situations,because it makes me happy that people are waking up and thinking for themselves.
