You tubeの日本旅行動画でも「日本の地方は海外観光客に冷たい」という英文コメントがあったので「英語を理解出来ない人、特に高齢者が日本語を一切話さない観光客を恐れ逃げ腰になるのは当然だ」と反論したこともありますが… 日本で長文英語が通用すると思うなと言うミスタには全く同意、しかも伝わりやすくなる手法を説明する姿勢は大変頭が下がります
I'm currently living in Japan, but I'm still learning Japanese. A lot the people I encounter speak very quickly even after I say,「ゆっくり言ってください。」(Maybe it's because I look Japanese to Japanese people?) It was frustrating at first, but then I thought about it and realized I do the same thing whenever I talk to non-native English speakers. After that, I felt I could understand how others feel. When I am speaking in English to someone whose second language is English, I think I often unconsciously speak quickly because I don't want to treat the other party as if they are stupid. I don't want to seem patronizing. Mysta's perspective is very insightful. I understand now that I need to let go of my petty feelings in order to communicate more effectively overall. I will try very hard to change my bad habit. 翻訳ありがとうございます!!
