- The familiar buzz of cicadas can only mean one thing - we're in Japan!
We had the privilege of visiting Japan's number 1 university, The University of Tokyo (nicknamed "Todai"), and had an interesting time interviewing students in their main campus.
We wanted to test if the brightest students in Japan could speak English as only the top 1% of students can attend this prestigious school. Again, we were taken back by our findings.
In a chance encounter, we interviewed Maya, one of the finalist for the Miss Tokyo University 2023. To support her journey, please cast her your vote on the link below!

Yusuke was quite interesting, despite his insistence that he's not fluent he can communicate perfectly fine and you can even hear his British accent!
His accent is immaculate although his vocabulary is lacking. I would imagine that he hasn't had enough practice speaking for his vocabulary to become/stay active.
For me, I am a Indian so in India there are government schools and private schools. Most of the private schools teach all the subjects in English since kindergarten. The only subject which is not taught in English is Hindi which is our native language. Growing up, i learned English so it wasnt that hard or complicated for me because i was taught English since childhood. So i really think learning a language since childhood is the best option for becoming fluent. One day, I wanna move to US for my further studies, since i know English too so it will be much easier to communicate and also understand lectures!
And also, if my English is bad or maybe i wrote something wrong, feel free to correct me. I would appreciate it! ❤
Hey man.
I am a significant improvement my English watching your videos.
I am from Brazil.
Thanks a lot.
Keep it up my friend!
8:25 what you call “dramas” in America we call them “situation comedies” (sit coms).
Honoka chan and Maya chan! Wow, they so adorable! i like them!
Agreed!
These interview series are very interesting. First interviewee is so cute and looks gorgeous I think she might be grown up in very high society family. I want Kieran to come to one of the high-ranked Universities South Korea. That would be interesting too.
Thanks for the feedback! I'd love to come to South Korea sometime for a similar take :)
Yow man you give me motivation to talk engilish so keep up 🇸🇴
Thank you! Keep on learning
Your new video is quite good. But there is a little typo at 7:23 . I think he meant “our” not “hour”. ❤
thanks for letting me know!
2:18 Yusuke is really good
These individuals are quite impressive having never been taught English in school. Imagine having to learn French or Spanish by yourself...
Please come to cambodia too.
Actually I was in Siam Reap, but I didn't do any filming :(
So what is the major of Maya? I only know she is a finalist for Miss Todai 😅
I... don't remember, I'm sorry!
kawai no onnanoko ne
Tokyo university is known as the top university in japan. Oh.. interesting! Maybe english would be one of the most important subjects in japan also. But unlike my expectation, they are not fluent english
