Have you ever experienced something so embarrassing that you just wanted to dig a hole and bury yourself in it? Well, that was me on Sunday morning when I took a trip to the local Japanese supermarket...

Hi Matt, I'm a Mexican and I'm learning Japanese from Mexico. Of course, I'm using the massive immersion method to learn it. Yo have been a real inspiration for me, thanks for that. I really love Japanese culture but is not only for that reason that I'm learning Japanese; there is a test (JLPT, N3) coming up this june, if I happen to pass it, I'll be able to get a very good salary here in Mexico as an interpreter that could literally change my life for good. I'm really grateful to you because of that, because you thaught me the way. This new project that you have, I want to be part of it. THANKS MATT

This Ken dude's accent and pitch is nuts. I lived in Japan for several years, and my wife is Japanese, and I am nowhere near that good in terms of accent and pitch. This kind of blows me away. You are great too Matt, but being honest Ken's accent is next level. I would probably think he was Japanese on the phone.

Matt does really well. I'd like to see him try to speak with my friends in the kansai area. Not only one on one (because obviously you can kind of guide the conversation or the things being talking about will tend to be about you) but also a group of Japanese people. That's where I find it hard sometimes since the topic changes to japan related things and the conversation speeds up not to mention the kansai words and accent.

I think their listening is probably so so and they haven't actually acquired that much input over their lifetime. Like they can probably understand what their parents are saying but probably don't have enough comprehension to feel comfortable in the language outside of that domestic setting. My friend's parents spoke to him in a mix of Urdu and English so he can understand what they mean, but that doesn't really mean he can speak very much or would be able to keep up with a film entirely in Urdu. Or alternatively, they could have pretty good comprehension but just haven't ever tried to speak because of lack of necessity and lack of confidence (though if they made the effort they could probably get fairly proficient pretty quick).
