I grew up in a similar environment but I may not be as good as these two kids since I bought a computer and got access to the internet in middle school. My parents don't speak any English at all though my mom can understand English. So I started watching videos of English youtubers and listening to English music pretty late as compared to these guys. Also in order to improve I used to talk to myself in English all the time. That also helped somewhat.

I wonder if most of the audience watching this understands how cool and impressive those two kids were. I’ve been teaching English in Elementary schools and junior high schools in Japan for over 20 years and I haven’t had any students who can speak like that- except for a FEW cases with kids who’ve come back from living abroad with their families. So… it was a cool interview, but maybe not for the reasons that most people are thinking. (Don’t assume these kids are representative of ‘typical’ Japanese kids!) That said, their parents are awesome and I want more Japanese parents and teachers to see this video to understand how language learning really works!

As an online tutor for Japanese people, I must say their English is impressive!! 😮 I’ve met a lot of Japanese of different ages and most of them are struggling in pronouncing R and L, S and SH, TH sounds. But these kids are amazing! Mostly, it’s the parents choice of enrolling them to English conversation schools. Some students don’t enjoy it but I’m glad to see that these boys love learning English. Also, their parents are probably well-traveled and exposed to different culture that’s why they also wanted their children to be the same.

One take from the kids that I can really relate with about learning English, 'It's not like learning, it's more like playing'. They are INTERESTED in English, that's not teachable (hence why other kids find it difficult to master English). I'm not amazing in English but compared to my peers, they consider me above average. You won't be good at something if you don't have the motivation to do it.

Wow! Very impressed by these two. Their accent, sentences, flow of speech etc was on point. Especially when they’re not attending an international school, or being taught at home by their parents. It’s very impressive!! Will be subscribing to their channel, thank you Takashii 👏

Well... In india when i was like there age i started scrubing my asses ( studying, studying and studying)....my point is in our country education system sus.. like we are so good with study math, physics etc...but don't know about life... I can give you a example by "JEE" this is the entrance exam of engineering college... imagine out of over 2 million students only like 10k students get selected and like 5k students get good colleges... i guess you all know what "MiT" is those students who failed to get iit are getting selected in mit.... now you can imagine the amount of pressure we are dealing with.....

I’m gonna be entirely honest.. I genuinely thought these 2 boys had previously lived in America due to their English. Being able to get that fluent without being in an a whole English speaking country is crazy.. and the thick American-like accent is so cute, lol.

These two english ability is phenomenal. Here's my view/preconceptions from beginning to end on their english level: Beginning: These two have got to be Japanese-Americans or studied in an eng speaking country when they were little and then their parents moved back to Japan Middle: Wait, maybe they go to an intl school where language is prominent End: They also have a youtube channel and learned english just by playing and having fun?! I am so subscribing!

I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe they learned American English by passively watching American shows. Did they somehow forgot to mention they went to an international school?

Internet in gerneral gets a lot of hate, but honestly, this video is a huge positive for it. We're all so united now that even children who live in totally different countries that speak completely different languages are able to communicate because they grew up in an age where lack of knowledge is simply due to a lack of just existing. My 12 year old nephew has a best friend in Sweden that he only talks to on Playstation... We live in Arizona.

Best way to learn a language is by consuming the media at a young age. My mother tongue is Spanish and I went to school in French (I live in Quebec) but by the time I was 8 years old I was perfectly fluent in English. No one spoke English at home but I watched movies and cartoons in English all the time.

They've managed to achieve native bilingualism without being exposed directly to an English-speaking environment. Very impressive. This gives me some ideas for when my time comes to raise children. If they keep at it they're going to be very successful.
