Americans have small brains apparently

Japanese is one of the hardest languages to learn from English. Especially the wording system.

Japanese people will usually prefer try to speak to you in English if they know it, especially in tourist areas. And some will out right refuse to talk to you in Japanese unless you’re Japanese, no matter if you’re fluent.

So why would most foreign people try to learn the language when the locals won’t communicate with you in it?

As an American living in Japan. I second this. Every bit of it is true. There is honestly not much of a reason to become fluent in the language
