@shintaro_tkd: CAN I INTERVIEW YOU IN JAPANESE? 🎤🇯🇵 17歳のアメリカ人留学生、渋谷に現る 🇺🇸🔥 A 17-year-old American exchange student appears in Shibuya 🇺🇸🔥 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵🔥 まだ17歳。 それなのに、日本へ来てまだ4か月とは思えないほど自然な日本語だった。 Only 17 years old. Yet after just four months in Japan, his Japanese already sounded incredibly natural. 「どこから来ましたか?」 「アメリカのフロリダから来ました。」 “Where are you from?” “I’m from Florida, USA.” いまは日本の学校に通い、ホームステイをしながら毎日日本語を勉強しているという。 He’s studying at a Japanese school and living with a host family while learning Japanese every day. 「日本語は全部でどれくらい勉強しましたか?」 答えは——「4か月」。 “How long have you studied Japanese?” The answer was—“Four months.” 正直、その答えには驚いた。 たった4か月で、ここまで会話できるようになる人は多くない。 That answer honestly surprised me. Very few people can hold a conversation like this after only four months. さらに目を引いたのは、着ていたアーセナルのユニフォーム。 Then something else caught my attention—the Arsenal jersey he was wearing. 「SAKAさんのユニフォーム?」 「はい。」 “Is that a Saka jersey?” “Yes.” でも、意外なことに本人はサッカーをしていなかった。 But surprisingly, he doesn’t actually play soccer. 「サッカーやってますか?」 「しません。ゴルフとバスケットをします。」 “Do you play soccer?” “No. I play golf and basketball.” 好きな選手への憧れと、日本語への挑戦。 17歳の夏は、きっと一生忘れられない思い出になる。 A favorite player and the courage to learn Japanese. This summer in Japan will probably become a memory he’ll never forget. 👇あなたなら4か月でここまで話せると思いますか?コメントで教えてください! 👇Do you think you could speak this well after only four months? Let me know in the comments! 「日本語が上手」とは、完璧に話すことではなく、こうして勇気を出して日本語で話してくれる人たちのことです。 Being “good at Japanese” isn’t about perfection—it’s about having the courage to speak like this. #streetinterview #shibuya #japanlife #learnjapanese #japan @R9ANK1N

This feels like one solid semester of Japanese study, with a lot of immersion and practice. He doesn’t let his anxiety or gaps in knowledge stop him from trying to communicate, and that’s half the battle. This is awesome!

I went to go study abroad in China with 1% fluency in Mandarin. Like him, within 4 months, I was fully engaging speaking Mandarin with locals. Survival skills will make you learn QUICK!

Either he has studied every single day for 4 months, and or he’s a very exceptionally clever human being. Or he’s not being truthful and he’s been studying much longer than that. At least a year.

Immersion is the best way to learn languages and the way locals speak that sometimes you don’t learn in a class
