idk how you could live in a country for 10 years and not achieve at least an intermediate level of fluency in the local language. Why would you even live there for so long if you have no intention of assimilating to the culture
Thanks for your comment. 😊 It is not uncommon for foreigners who have been in Japan for many years to not speak Japanese. I think this is because of a matter of priorities; they have other priorities. Especially for those who have a job and a family, it is difficult to find time to work on Japanese.... And since Japanese is one of the most difficult languages in the world, including Kanji, I personally think that if you are going to put effort into it, it would be better to put effort into other things. As far as Japan is concerned, I think the priority is to get more Japanese people to speak English, rather than expecting foreigners to speak Japanese. Otherwise, all the good foreigners will go to the U.S. or other English-speaking countries. 😅😅😅
@@RealVoiceTokyofromTaku I can agree to an extent. Matter of priorities makes sense. If financial gain and prosperity of the family is the only motivation, it makes sense. You know, I have lived in the US, India, Mexico, and now Germany and I had to leave the US for India after my father died when I was a teenager. Had to go to local schools and learn Hindi and assimilate to the culture. It took years until college until I became comfortable. Then In Mexico I had challenged myself to live there and I learned so much Spanish just by being on the streets. Then for Germany I had this experience of knowing how hard it was to be Indian in America, then American in India, then something between Indian and American in Mexico, so by the time I got to Germany it was much easier to pick up on the language and culture barriers. I've only been here a year. But the idea that Kanji is hard, Japanese is hard, well.... if you have 10 years... i don't think there is any excuse. I'm in IT also. Trust me, it's much harder to learn SDE and then data science than it is to learn basics of a language after 10 YEARS. In my opinion, after 10 years. If you can run an IT team, lead an international project, you should be able to learn a local language and culture to an intermediate degree. Again, this is my opinion as an Indian in Germany. Most Indians here are depressed because they don't have any local friends except Indians. Congrats to the guy who made his life in Japan. I'm not knocking him. In the coming years, however, Indians who want to migrate cannot just go to English speaking countries so easy as before. In fact, it is much easier to go to non-english speaking countries. But there are millions of indians who will have this perception that you can go to a non-english speaking country, only speak English, and live a good life. This is absolutely false in 98% of the cases. I can go on and on but hopefully you understand my point.
@praveen921 Your framing of the comment is very negative and non-constructive. Are you just trying to just criticise this person? That too after he has taken the time and effort for this interview? If learning local language is required, then so be it, people will learn it as and when required. He is able to work and live happily the way he is. No thanks to you, for trying to insult a person who is contributing to our society just fine. And regarding your detailed experience, kudos to you. But if you can only share your experience while disparaging others, please keep it to yourself.

Nice information ❤
Thank you! 😂😂😂
surprised to hear he says the cost of living in tokyo is high. maybe compared to india? definitely not compared to the west i think
In india, you could live a pretty comfortable life if you earn about $300 to $400 a month. Most people survive on significantly less.
Right! Compared to India, it costs more. Compared to the West, it costs less.😉
Nice videos
Thank you!😊😊😊
