@@alinutzalin6346 haha thanks for the compliment my dude. Well I don't know if you actually want to live here since I'm from India. Anyways just for more clarification I want to add some more. The health sector in our country is divided into Private Sector and Government Sector. Private Sectors are costly but well maintained and have the latest equipment. And when I say costly, it's not American Healthcare level of costly. More like if a full body checkup cost around $5 in a Public Hospital, the Private Hospital will cost around $50. The Public Hospital although lacks the latest & greatest equipment, it has the best institutions and best doctors in the country (like All India Institute of Medical Science, AIIMS for example). They are very cheap, will provide the best service for the money and are very effective.

Because I grew up in a chinatown that was actually a diverse mix of asians, I can understand many common questions and basic phrases in many asian languages and but can't speak those languages.

Instead of asking me the question, they gave me a look of disgust, went to a white person, and asked them for directions in incredibly broken english.

But when i start speaking broken Japanese, they automatically ask if they should translate to Korean or Singaporean (Neither of which i ecen remotely speak).

To be fair Korean grammar is pretty similar to Japanese grammar. It is certainly less difficult for them because Japanese uses a many different scripts but Korean only has one script. And add on Chinese words borrowed from Middle Chinese which sometimes do sound like Japanese words based off Middle Chinese. Difficulties they might face is pronouncing some sounds like ㅡ which to Japanese people sounds like ü. Learning English is even more dedication because there is very little similarity and add on compiled grammar and inconsistent spelling you need to memorize. Props to him for learning those languages because that requires dedication.
I never really had a problem with doctors in Tokyo, and I saw quite a few (ehh chronically ill community). If the doctor didn’t speak sufficient English I would bring a friend who was more fluent than me. Or would request an interpreter by telephone. You have to expect, in a country with a different national language than your own, that not everyone can be bilingual. But Conner is right, he should 100% at least learn the words for his own conditions 😂
did you watched the video? the problem is never about could every doctor be bilingual or not, but how every single doctor in japan whom advertise them self as someone who could speak english couldn't speaking english them self when consultation happen. that's the thing that connor complain about. why you advertise yourself capable to speak english when you couldn't speaking english yourself? that's the problem.
@@Darkrezta I did watch it. I’m just speaking from experience, the places I went that advertised English speakers were never fluent but did speak a little English.
@@panpacifice my point is I disagree in certain situation with your statement that "You have to expect, in a country with a different national language than your own, that not everyone can be bilingual". like in this connor case, where someone in this case, doctor who advertising a service and at the same time them self that they can speak english. I believe in that situation I am right to be entitled to expecting that doctor, to actually can speak english when the actual service between me and them happen, either when their national language is english or not. especially if miscommunication in that service can be potentially dangerous to me. that's what I believe the core of connor complaint, and I agree with him. I am never expecting anyone in the country whom english is never their national language to actually fluent or even speak a little of it, but I am expecting someone who advertising they can to actually speaking it. sorry if I am not clear enough
@Robin Sailo they're not required to learn english though. They already have a lot on their hands, imagine a japenese med student learning pathophysiology in japanese & learn it in english, their brains might explode & besides the majority of their patients is japanese people, why even bother learn English.
actually I should know the answer. funny thing, last time i went to osaka and couldn't communicate, I took out a pen and paper and started writing in chinese, and they understood me almost perfectly...
Japanese people would often (not always) speak English to me even when I was speaking Japanese. I worked my ass off studying this language and thought if you’re in Japan and you’re speaking japanese people should respond in japanese. I kind of turned into a jerk I think because you could push my buttons just speaking broken English to me when I was speaking japanese. I feel bad about that looking back.
The immigration office did not have a single person who spoke a word of English but omw back home, when I was buying shinkansen tickets, the JR cashier spoke in perfect English with no accent 🤦♂
I'm a poliglot and i have tryed some cool apps for translating just to see if they do the job correctly, why didn't they used that instead of google translate? i have tryed that one and didn't like it
That some false advertisement. They should label it as either "Doctor can speak english" or "Receptionist can speak english". Not label it as they can, when they can't.
I thought every doctor in whatever country using English or latin term Now I know I'm not from English speaker country but the doctor here use English for medical terms
They really want a slap on the face or whaaat?! People needs medical information…shame on them! Even if it is for commercial reasons everybody have to know how to speak English…even if you are trash at conversation…you can write and that will save lifes
not everybody need to speak english at all. the world not revolved around it, some people living fine without it. it's happen and it's ok, deal with it.
the problem is not that they dont speak english, because thats normal, a lot of people speak english and have no problems, it isnt the language the whole world uses what i could agree in is that if they did not know english to a conversational level then they should not advertise themselves as "can speak english." that is wrong, and probably should not be allowed for many reasons again, the problem isnt that they dont know english, the problem is that they advertise that they know english while they don't.
I disagree. I do agree that doctors who actually speak english shld be made aware to foreigners. The embassy/immigration department or watever shld hv a list they make available for foreigners
@@EzKay_PX maybe Joey was right when he said "can speak english"="not afraid of foreigners". Since Japan is a collectivism society, if the doctor put a sign such as "foreigners welcomed", other doctor may take it as an insult. Just sharing my opinion.
As long as they know how to bill you in every language, that's all they need.

To be fair Korean grammar is pretty similar to Japanese grammar. It is certainly less difficult for them because Japanese uses a many different scripts but Korean only has one script. And add on Chinese words borrowed from Middle Chinese which sometimes do sound like Japanese words based off Middle Chinese. Difficulties they might face is pronouncing some sounds like ㅡ which to Japanese people sounds like ü.
Learning English is even more dedication because there is very little similarity and add on compiled grammar and inconsistent spelling you need to memorize.
Props to him for learning those languages because that requires dedication.
there is no one more badass than someone who speaks multiple languages
I never really had a problem with doctors in Tokyo, and I saw quite a few (ehh chronically ill community). If the doctor didn’t speak sufficient English I would bring a friend who was more fluent than me. Or would request an interpreter by telephone. You have to expect, in a country with a different national language than your own, that not everyone can be bilingual. But Conner is right, he should 100% at least learn the words for his own conditions 😂
did you watched the video? the problem is never about could every doctor be bilingual or not, but how every single doctor in japan whom advertise them self as someone who could speak english couldn't speaking english them self when consultation happen. that's the thing that connor complain about. why you advertise yourself capable to speak english when you couldn't speaking english yourself? that's the problem.
@@Darkrezta I did watch it. I’m just speaking from experience, the places I went that advertised English speakers were never fluent but did speak a little English.
@@panpacifice my point is I disagree in certain situation with your statement that "You have to expect, in a country with a different national language than your own, that not everyone can be bilingual". like in this connor case, where someone in this case, doctor who advertising a service and at the same time them self that they can speak english. I believe in that situation I am right to be entitled to expecting that doctor, to actually can speak english when the actual service between me and them happen, either when their national language is english or not. especially if miscommunication in that service can be potentially dangerous to me. that's what I believe the core of connor complaint, and I agree with him.
I am never expecting anyone in the country whom english is never their national language to actually fluent or even speak a little of it, but I am expecting someone who advertising they can to actually speaking it. sorry if I am not clear enough
@Robin Sailo they're not required to learn english though. They already have a lot on their hands, imagine a japenese med student learning pathophysiology in japanese & learn it in english, their brains might explode & besides the majority of their patients is japanese people, why even bother learn English.
@@Darkrezta bruh when did OP says its ok to falsely advertise? Stop misunderstanding/putting words in his mouth
I didn't know that 血友病 is written the exact same way in japanese as in chinese, are many words like this?
actually I should know the answer. funny thing, last time i went to osaka and couldn't communicate, I took out a pen and paper and started writing in chinese, and they understood me almost perfectly...
Blood friend is literally the English translation of hemophilia... so, not too far off. ;)

Japanese people would often (not always) speak English to me even when I was speaking Japanese. I worked my ass off studying this language and thought if you’re in Japan and you’re speaking japanese people should respond in japanese. I kind of turned into a jerk I think because you could push my buttons just speaking broken English to me when I was speaking japanese. I feel bad about that looking back.
Anime that can't exist. A hero with that can speak any language
The guys behind the "But we're speaking Japanese" video must have had a lot of experiences just like the first couple stories
The immigration office did not have a single person who spoke a word of English but omw back home, when I was buying shinkansen tickets, the JR cashier spoke in perfect English with no accent 🤦♂
Tomodachi looking ass thing 🤣
My mom has problem with Filipino women tried to speak to my mom in Filipino but she she isn’t Filipino
The weird part is they have to be at least able to read english.
Welsh doctors never speak Japanese

I'm a poliglot and i have tryed some cool apps for translating just to see if they do the job correctly, why didn't they used that instead of google translate? i have tryed that one and didn't like it
My Orthopedic Doctor in Japan speaks Japanese :).
lets go, Hemophilia gang
That some false advertisement. They should label it as either "Doctor can speak english" or "Receptionist can speak english". Not label it as they can, when they can't.
I thought every doctor in whatever country using English or latin term
Now I know
I'm not from English speaker country but the doctor here use English for medical terms

Doctors in America can’t write English

They really want a slap on the face or whaaat?! People needs medical information…shame on them! Even if it is for commercial reasons everybody have to know how to speak English…even if you are trash at conversation…you can write and that will save lifes
not everybody need to speak english at all. the world not revolved around it, some people living fine without it. it's happen and it's ok, deal with it.
the problem is not that they dont speak english, because thats normal, a lot of people speak english and have no problems, it isnt the language the whole world uses
what i could agree in is that if they did not know english to a conversational level then they should not advertise themselves as "can speak english." that is wrong, and probably should not be allowed for many reasons
again, the problem isnt that they dont know english, the problem is that they advertise that they know english while they don't.
I disagree. I do agree that doctors who actually speak english shld be made aware to foreigners. The embassy/immigration department or watever shld hv a list they make available for foreigners
No. If you go to another country, it’s your obligation to know their language. Entire countries shouldn’t have to bend to your entitlement
@@EzKay_PX maybe Joey was right when he said "can speak english"="not afraid of foreigners". Since Japan is a collectivism society, if the doctor put a sign such as "foreigners welcomed", other doctor may take it as an insult. Just sharing my opinion.
