this is a great article which is obvioulsy going to generate the most comments this week. actually everyone is correct in their feedback in one way or another because its such a complicated issue. but why should japanese people who live in japan speak english? of course it would be great if the only language in the world was english, then we wouldn't have to discuss this topic. this language / culture issue also exists in other areas such as Hong Kong, its not exclusive to Japan. The only time Japanese people wish that they knew more English is when they have to go abroad for sometime on behalf of their company and then they find that they are unable to communicate. If they don't travel on business - no problem. A few years ago the French were also very proctionist regarding their language, but even they had to give in to globalization.
