    Japanese people do learn english but just recently there are moves to get American people in my age group 18-25 to go to Japan and teach english because their English teachers there aren't that good, there are new moves to teach kids in Japan english by 7th grade quoting them here "they want it to be a passion for them not a study", so can't wait in the next couple of years there will be kids hopping on XIV to try to practice English with us and not vice versa, will be pretty cool.

    Thanks for the thread a couple of these I had picked up from FFXI, but new lingo in XIV needed to be learned thanks again.

    You mean they aren't taught English before 7th grade?

    I think they just don't want to "embarrass" themselves if they think they can't speak it well enough. However most people in this globe can't speak it well, so that is a bad reason not to speak it lol. I'm sure they'd do better than 50% of people I meet. I mean, they are most likely taught better than say, anywhere outside the West.

    We simply don't give a damn .
