Hi! I will try to upload clips of Connor's cyclethon daily so remember to subscribe to not miss out! I really want to hit that 1000 subs!

Toru, the third party member today... it may have only been 30 min, but he's forever in our hearts 🫡

[@KillerTacos54]

For someone who says he slacks in his Japanese studies, I'm truly amazed at how far Connor has come with his Japanese!

[@rebyricks3550]

people usually point out that he's just saying words and just letting japanese people piece it together but to be able to decently mouth out the words and have the guy understand what you want to say is clearly showing better results than not being able to use it at all

[@nanashi7779]

He learns in the best way possible for a new language - through actual interactions with Japanese people every day

[@Kewickviper]

Not to be harsh but it's very difficult to judge someone's language ability when you don't speak it so any level at all appears impressive. This is why you see all those KZbin polyglots that claim to speak 30 languages when in reality they know maybe a few hundred words in each and can struggle to get by, but to outsiders it looks like they're fluent because they can't tell all the mistakes and have no idea what they're saying. I don't want to take anything away from Connors Japanese level and this is nothing against him, but he's still very much in the beginner stages. He's either just started learning or he hasn't put much time into learning, with dedicated study anyone could reach this level in a few months. He can't make complex sentences and have an in depth conversation based on this video. If you notice Toru has to adapt his Japanese heavily to communicate with him, using just short words or short sentences to give Connor a chance of understanding. That's to say I have no idea about Connors reading/writing ability. I'm sure it's much higher than his speaking although it's tricky with Japanese because you have to memorize Kanji.

[@ilhamnumber]

Very ironic with Pete who living in Japan for 14 years

[@notuxnobux]

What a kind hearted curious guy. Random positive interactions like this are what its all about (besides the money of course).

[@BakaTaco]

The kindness and respect of Japanese people never fails to amaze me. Thank you, Japanese cyclist, for guiding Connor around and being such an awesome guy!

[@sand3514]

Ikr? People say that japanese dont really like foreigners but if you are respectful, they will also give respect

[@BakaTaco]

@@sand3514 I don't think Japanese people mind foreigners, but can't stand the ones who are disrespectful, rude, and don't make even the slightest effort to understand right and wrongs in Japan. And frankly, I hate that kind of person too, you don't need to be Japanese to realise how obnoxious that kind of behaviour is, as it happens all over the world. I'm not Japanese, I can't really speak on their behalf, so hopefully someone who knows more can comment and inform us. Sometimes Japanese people may come across as cold and maybe uncaring, but I think it's because they are typically quiet and keep to themselves. This is a stereotype though, as generally they are friendly when approached, polite (this is ingrained in the society, and I love this) and in my own experience, will go out of the way to help you. I guess I like that way of living(?), as I'm kinda awkward, but really friendly, so I'm more than happy when people actually want to talk to me, haha.

[@whitecrow20XX]

The one who is cold the genuine ones. The one who is kind is mostly fakes. Politeness is just persona to maintain the public image, especially to foreigners. They mostly rude, closeted, and selfish.

[@Haunt888]

being friendly = kind 1 person = all japanese 😂😂😂🤦🤦🤦

[@victorchan1187]

I am amazed this gentleman helped out and rode along the way with Connor and Chris. Normally, I wouldn't enjoy random rudely inserted themselves into someone's stream for personal gain but this time, it's different. I am so glad they had a great time.

[@weebman9762]

Its kinda a weird word to translate cuz it ranges from 'damn' to 'oh fuck' to 'thats awesome' or 'crazy' Its basically a one word does all that everyone should use

[@Gasten950]

Yea, it's one of those words that can have different meanings depending on tone and context.

[@phoenyck]

I always get quite surprised that Chris seems to let Connor take the lead in Japanese conversations. It does make me wonder if Connor's conversational Japanese is better?

[@Scoobay]

Think it was just cause he was speaking to Connor mostly, and Connor probably seems more approachable.

[@hayatojin2886]

Why people always say fish and chips every time, having been to the UK 4 times now the food there is not bad at all, i never had fish and chips either, Connor have some damn pride in your Country.

[@novailablename]

I guess because it's the most recognisable dish from the UK and is a very safe answer. It's the same as saying sushi and ramen when people ask about food from Japan.

[@itsGreyHat]

Being there 4 times isn’t the same as living there for 15 years.

[@Scoobay]

Connor just embraces memes. It’s all good. Fish and chips was always just a cheap way to feed a family and it became romanticised by foreigners. But thank you for acknowledging we do have some good food, I think we do too.

[@justanuglyboy]

TORU THE GOAT!

[@loverofbigdookies]

Ive noticed that almost all English native speakers just repeat themselves over and over (according to the subtitles) whereas the native speakers just say what they mean. "Right now we are streaming. Streaming." Lmao. "of course, of course" "30000 viewers, 30000 viewers". It's like they can't just say it once lol. Xiaomanyc, my favorite in this space, is almost constantly stuttering the same words over and over even in Chinese which he is very fluent in.

[@brendanmystery]

That’s probably because they want to get the pronunciation right so the first one they aren’t happy with or are unsure whether they got the point across so they repeat it.

[@realhorror2024]

Xiaoma actually has a stuttering problem I’m pretty sure not just the language learning causing that haha

[@stateofvoid]

Japanese people speaking English are often like that too. You repeat when you use a non-native language to make sure you got your point across

[@ryana5435]

I think it’s a bad habit for non-native language learner. You gotta just say it once and observe their reaction to decide whether you should say it again

[@loverofbigdookies]

@@ryana5435 I see it the same as "uh" and "um". Silence and spacing is okay
