I don't know why knowing english is supposedly intelligent or reassuring for the future. Chinese are well enough with their language. Also Russians. And Japanese. Quite the contrary learning multiple languages only functions when working in other places if they have no feeling to move on to another country it is not needed in any way, and that actually is more effective as they would bring benefits to their own country instead of a foreign one.
Ricardo De Leon say what you will but you can't deny the buissness aspect of having your country speak English. Singapore for eg has been outspoken about the importance of English to their economy.
+Peggy Royster I have always being against that american invented rule because firstly Russian and Chinese are the most talked languages because of population and landmass so they should be the Capital Languages also it promotes American and other English talking culture in laziness most countries have bilingual education U.S.A does not it biggens they're already big ego. Also world globality isn't a good excuse there are many closed countries to globality and they are extremely good to live in as they have a more richer and fascinating culture in all aspects instead of being extremely similar to one another, and as I said communication only is really necessary if you decide to move from country its respect for the others that promotes language learning.
"Say what you want" This not only makes credibility in your content of future sentences because it uses mine as support putting it above which it is a unrespectful move and also very egocentric on your part. It denies the content on my comment like if I did some madman rambling and makes me think you dindt even read it. Now economy wise this is false Singapore has always being multi diverse as it has always being a trading center so it's not comparable to Japan (which also is a whole country more difference) Also in economic state is different as it's not needed in society and also corrupts the culture by the overused articles and product of other countries and denial of local products (Like Mexico-U.S.A) in contrary if economy is focused in more local businesses (Germany) not only the money goes on and easiest more convenient transition but it rotates in convenience of the whole country without having to divide gains and keeps cultural production in a better state.
GabeOFFTHEWALL maybe they think their English is terrible because they tend to stutter a lot... I have been an ESL teacher for 3 years and I always tell them their English is good it's just that they tend to stutter a lot which would hinder them most of the time to be fluent in speaking English...
I wonder what I would have said if you asked me the same questions when I was in high school. When I was 17-18, I backpacked through India. On my way back to Japan at the airport, I started talking to one of the staff members. There were very long cues at the security checkpoint so I asked if there was any incident (it was right after 9/11). That stuff member turned out to be a pretty Indian girl and she was very friendly. I wanted to talk to her more and get to know her, but that was just my fantasy. She was just working there and I was leaving. So I guess the answer is yes. Come to think about it, I never really thought about dating 'a foreign girl' when I was young. Or to be more precious, I just didn't frame them as 'foreign girls'. When I was 13, I home-stayed in the US for a month. (Back them I didn't speak English but kinds don't need language to communicate with each other.) There was this pretty girl at the summer camp and I liked her. She was white, but I didn't think of her as a 'white' girl because that was before I learned how to call white people 'white people'. (That word exists in Japanese but we don't really use it that much.) I didn't think of her as an 'American' girl either. Once I was in the US, everyone was American so they just became 'people'. I guess I've just never really had strong racial preferences when it comes to dating. And language barrier neither. I would have totally dated that American girl even though my English was non-existent if she had been interested in me (I didn't know because I didn't ask her and I didn't know how to handle that situation).
That Japanese Man Yuta thank you so much!I am from italy,i remember when you meet in a your video an italian man. I want to come in japan but next year i come at High school!Sorry for my english!
That Japanese Man Yuta I'm French and my Mother is from guinea and my dad is actually mixed french Vietnamese. So i'm dark skinned, I only know french culture and my name is VU CONG(pretty confusing i know) But in fact I've never thought about it before. I spent my childhood in french schools in Africa because of my father's job and i used to live with many french speakers but of various origins. And it's when i came back in France that the ethnicity question really came to me because back then it wasn't even a question. Bottom line... i think that the question of racial preferences shouldn't be predominant and that you'll never know which "race" of girl you will fall in love with and you might even get surprised.... Even if the Country in which you live has prejudices. Sorry for the english i'm french😉
@Gargee Basak Hold up, that's not true. I don't know the numbers for Japanese guys, but Chinese and Korean dudes have been recorded to be longer than Caucasians and black Africans. See: UC San Francisco, Nnamdi Azikwe University, University of Beijing, and Chosun University
There is one thing that should have been asked "What is their concept of girlfriend?" I don´t know if they are talking about someone to talk to with frecuency, someone to go on dates, someone they like or someone they love.
I was going to pretend I didn't notice a certain similarity but... yeah 😊 Anyway, if the boy is reading this: don't worry even for a second about it, because - on you - it looks very cool; on me, though, would look absolutely unusual (amalgam of Latin and French looks) Besides, I'm not in a position from where I can tell if your English is "good" by any recognized standard, even less if it can meet your own expectations, but I can tell that it is perfectly fitting to start communicating with most of the world👍
I feel like Japanese people have kind of a distorted perception on what a girlfriend or boyfriend is, or what dating entails. Even my Japanese boyfriend thinks so.
Martina Black I usually get the impression that their concept of a relationship is very one-sided. That is not to say that westerners don't have their own [many] misconceptions, but watching these interviews, they sometimes sound very self serving, or even generally confused.
+Martina Black Why distorted? A boyfriend/girlfriend relation has hundreds of concepts and "rules" in lots of places, cultures and even religions. There cannot be distortion when there is no good concept or bad one just different concepts. Japanesse are traditionals so the girlfriend/boyfriend or /and dating concepts are quite new to them they have different approaches which I find better than most western one's they are not just about feeling of pleasure but also about benefits for both parties (something that's in all relationships but it's like a taboo to say in most other places) Almost like a cold beneficial relation for both parties involved, used to see if love or emotion grow out of it.
+Ricardo De Leon I was asking the OP, because she seems to be an expert in knowing what a girlfriend and boyfriend really should be. Still didn`t get used to the new shitty comment notification. The reply button doesn`t work anymore...
chipchip it was funny to watch those two, I was trying to understand what they were thinking because the face they make when one of them was talking, was hilarious
Yuta, you make the more realistic and authentic videos about Japan and Japanese people, no bulshit, just normal people, and that is what makes your channel so awesome, big hug from Spain
I'm so impressed with their pronunciation! Of course they made some gramatical mistakes and used some unnatural expressions, but all of them had amazing pronunciation! The guy with the glasses who said "I'm waiting for you!" or w/e sounded the most natural (he used phrases and expressions that only high-level speakers use) but they were all great.
tokyo condo I was there for like 10 days, I wish their English was this good. It was pretty difficult to communicate but luckily my host sister's English is hella good.
I've always been a super shy guy, but I never had trouble making friends with girls in school, they're so much more approchable and nicer than guys (on average).
Hip Hop and rap have had notable influences on Japan since the late 80s and early 90s. Groups like Rip Slyme and M-Flo really started to shine by the mid 90s
I'm so impressed with their English! My second year classmates in Japan don't have such high level of Japanese as these guys do! My friends might have it while reading but not when speaking or writing! This is great!
Those boys are adorable! I hope they all find the kind girls they are looking for someday. I am so impressed that they are studying English and trying so hard. I hope they get to study abroad someday and have the chance to practice and improve their second language. To the boys in the video, がんばってください。Good luck!
If you know a little Japanese you can see the translation process in their words. When he said "it's troublesome" you know he was thinking of "mendokusai."
That Japanese Man Yuta are you their english teacher ? they are so good at the language compared to most japanese students , that while watching the video i had the impression they were all half foreign
this was a interesting video and I was surprised to hear that most of the boys said they were busy with cram school and such. I think its good for boys and girls to have enough time to make friends and hang out with people and take a break from school and studying even if its 30 minutes. I like their answers when it came to foreign girls because it puts me at ease to know that when I go to Japan and speak there will be people who will listen and be my friend even if my Japanese isn't that good (I'm working on it!)
it's because when looking at the language grammatically, Japanese has many things that English doesn't such as subject markers. for a person who speaks English, to add this into their knowledge is far more difficult than for a Japanese person just to remove. this applies to many things other than subject markers as well. on top of that, English is a mandatory class in most Japanese schools. basically all millennials and younger for sure know English and some older as well because they have all been learning English since about 6 and they are forced to use it as much as possible (I've seen schools where you are required to speak English every where except 'Japanese class')
*it's because when looking at the language grammatically, Japanese has many things that English doesn't such as subject markers. for a person who speaks English, to add this into their knowledge is far more difficult than for a Japanese person just to remove.* Sorry, but this is just wrong. The grammar of English and Japanese respectively are completely alien to one another, and are equally difficult to learn for speakers of the other. It's true that Japanese has topic markers while English doesn't, but English still denotes the same information through word order and morphological structure, so Japanese people learning English still need to put the same amount of effort into learning the new grammatical system. Think about it this way - all languages need to encode the same information, they just do it in completely different ways. The more different that way is from your native language, the more difficult the language will be to learn. Since English learners of Japanese and Japanese learners of English are learning a language equally distant from their native language in terms of structure, it will more or less have the same level of difficulty.
Honestly learning Japanese is hard for me as well as reading japanese and writing in japanese I wish instead of learning Indonesian at my school it could be Japanese
Mikasa but it's our national language right.. Just buy the right supplement books. The revised Minna no Nihongo (2015) is very good and understandable. There's another book for case studies too, I bought all set of it and I think it's better than going to Japanese Course. Going to social club (like these guys!) are important too, so you could just speak to native Japanese. Btw where are you from? In Bali we have Japanese language as 3rd language lesson (after Indonesia and English) since 7th grade all the way until we graduate. Thats what peaks my interest in Japanese..
Mikasa sorry. I thought you're Indonesian. Yes I've heard that Aussies got Indonesia language as their second language. And I'm so sad for you.. well if you try to explain it to your mom nicely, maybe she'd understand. The book isn't that expensive (around 5 USD each) and with only 1 set of book, you could learn a long way. Just try to ask her!
Thanks, Yuta; good to see these young guys speaking English (pretty well). Unlike so many American kids, they are concerned enough with school that dating would be a challenge; maybe partly why they surpass U.S. teens in academic achievement.
I really like the different points of view, and also their English is really good. Something that I'm really impressed is that now in days is so rare to see a boy blushing 🤗 it's really cute.
The title should be "How WOULD Japanese School Boys Date" because none of them have had any real experience. Sorry, but I have encountered real high school dating couples that should've been interviewed for this instead. Even so, maybe only 1-in-10 Japanese high school students actually date.
Are most japanese their age like this? here in mexico people reproduce like bunnies and most of us know how to talk to man and woman a like all the time, so it's kinda weird to see this aspect of your society. Really interesting stuff.
Being able to speak a second language fluently is one thing, being able to perform an 'English' accent when English has so many different accents is extremely impressive. I'm always pleasantly surprised when someone who doesn't speak English as their native language sounds like they've been living in the United States for years.
Even if the english structure was rough at times, a lot of the english pronunciation was really good. Still, I think this video was interesting and wouldnt mind if you asked HS girls the same questions
i love that kid with glasses (the last to speak) he was so cute~ i hope he gets the courage to talk to some girls and meets one who likes him and is kind~~
I think that you should show them all the comments on this video. Most seem to think that they don't speak English very well but as a native speaker I have no issues comprehending anything they were saying, even the pronunciation and accent was very good, they really shouldn't be so critical of themselves :)
Yuta-san, I recently found out that the capital punishment isn't yet abolished in Japan, and that it's still in use(even though it's applied only in extreme cases). It'd be interesting to see what do Japanese people think about that, so it'd be nice if you did an interview on that subject.
I'm actually really impressed with all their English levels. Especially since they're so young.
They are taught it well nowadays.
I don't know why knowing english is supposedly intelligent or reassuring for the future.
Chinese are well enough with their language.
Also Russians.
And Japanese.
Quite the contrary learning multiple languages only functions when working in other places if they have no feeling to move on to another country it is not needed in any way, and that actually is more effective as they would bring benefits to their own country instead of a foreign one.

this was a interesting video and I was surprised to hear that most of the boys said they were busy with cram school and such.

And I'm so sad for you.. well if you try to explain it to your mom nicely, maybe she'd understand. The book isn't that expensive (around 5 USD each) and with only 1 set of book, you could learn a long way. Just try to ask her!
Mikasa ooorr maybe you could look for pdf online? I'm sure there are many of them out there!
They are so adorable! Their english is great too. I'm 25 and am in college but their answers remind me a lot of when I was in high school. So sweet.
I think their English was quite impressive overall. It's a lot better than my Spanish ever was.
Wow! Their English is impressive! Seriously, this school must be really good. Thanks for the video!
Give these young guys a few years and they'll be great at English in no time
Them being shy is really wholesome and their English is extremely good! A tad bit off in terms of wording but really clear and easy to understand
That "...yes" @ 5:45 tho 😂
A M IK RIGHT!
Robyn Lawrence Smoothest "yes" ever. Lol.
Great video on the insights of all boys schools in Japan. Really impressed with there English skills for such young age.
Ayyy 2D > 3D amirite?
no
Felipe Revuelta yes
yeesshhhh.
also felix Felix is best grill :3
almost yes (Except JoJo 3D)
Felipe Revuelta yes Daru.
Their English is really good.
They are not too shy.😃
I really enjoyed this.
the first two students really knows a lot :) i love their accent too
Thanks, Yuta; good to see these young guys speaking English (pretty well). Unlike so many American kids, they are concerned enough with school that dating would be a challenge; maybe partly why they surpass U.S. teens in academic achievement.
the first guy on the left speaks so well!
Awww they are adorable. Their English is a lot better than I thought it would be.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
their english are good *o.o!!!!*
I really like the different points of view, and also their English is really good. Something that I'm really impressed is that now in days is so rare to see a boy blushing 🤗 it's really cute.
holy! those eye brows are intense!!!
they're so shy and cute and their english skills are amazing!
The title should be "How WOULD Japanese School Boys Date" because none of them have had any real experience. Sorry, but I have encountered real high school dating couples that should've been interviewed for this instead. Even so, maybe only 1-in-10 Japanese high school students actually date.
God these guys are so honest and earnest. And their English is excellent.
That boy's pointy up eyebrows are so cute aw
All of them totally rocked english, if i spoke Japanese that well, i would feel confident to travel to Japan.
Are most japanese their age like this? here in mexico people reproduce like bunnies and most of us know how to talk to man and woman a like all the time, so it's kinda weird to see this aspect of your society. Really interesting stuff.
didn't know it was all boys, that makes sense i guess them knowing how to speak english means they spend some time doing stuff other than sports.
Esteban Velarde México is a shit country tbh. That's all they do. Have sex and reproduce in a 3rd world country
Nice video. It's refreshing to hear young students speak their mind.
Shoutout to the guy who likes Kendrick Lamar, I had no idea his music had traveled that far.
Wow, Yuta! This video was great. It was interesting to see what Japanese kids think.
I like when that guy said "hummm I'm a little shy" literally so cute
I like the way they keep trying and dont give up easy 😌
1:17 the boy in the left looks like Hajime-shacho lol (very famous UA-camr in Japan, he's funny in case you are interested)
my hn LOL HAHAHAHAAHHAHA I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
IKR
Being able to speak a second language fluently is one thing, being able to perform an 'English' accent when English has so many different accents is extremely impressive. I'm always pleasantly surprised when someone who doesn't speak English as their native language sounds like they've been living in the United States for years.
2D master race.
woow their english is amazing, i really enjoyed this video
wow, only Spock has a girlfriend.
I know right?
Even if the english structure was rough at times, a lot of the english pronunciation was really good. Still, I think this video was interesting and wouldnt mind if you asked HS girls the same questions
Dude at 2:35. Lol 2D girls for life.
Oh my goodness these guys are just too adorable for words. They're shy and handsome and from the looks of it pretty honest
4:55 "I will capture them" xD
i love that kid with glasses (the last to speak) he was so cute~ i hope he gets the courage to talk to some girls and meets one who likes him and is kind~~
Omg this was so freaking cute.
I think that you should show them all the comments on this video. Most seem to think that they don't speak English very well but as a native speaker I have no issues comprehending anything they were saying, even the pronunciation and accent was very good, they really shouldn't be so critical of themselves :)
The pronunciations were actually quite good
these boys are so precious :'((((( and their english is so amazing!!
Yuta-san, I recently found out that the capital punishment isn't yet abolished in Japan, and that it's still in use(even though it's applied only in extreme cases). It'd be interesting to see what do Japanese people think about that, so it'd be nice if you did an interview on that subject.
I'm really impressed with about all of their English!!
7:08 looks 10 years old
Wow! Their English is so good! I'm really impressed
0:47 Kendrick Lamar veri noice
ChestnutRic3 nooooiicce
Good luck guys, all of you are so cute and so humble.
