My partner is Japanese and I'm a native English person. We live in a small Northern town in England and she loves how random people talk to each other in the park or on the street. She says that the Japanese pretend to be nice or polite but it makes them feel exhausted whereas the British are more genuine and authentic which she loves.

@@ess-englishspeakingstrateg8306 That's soooo true. I lived in Japan for 35 years. Human interactions are a source of stress, not comfort, for them. The phrase 気を使う is one you hear a lot when it comes to dealing with other people. The only person I ever got to know in the apartment building where I lived was the cleaning lady, and she didn't even live there. Quite a number of my neighbours wouldn't even return my (Japanese) greetings. Very sad.

100% geographically we are very similar.

@pratosaurusrex1128 2 ай бұрын

The only similarities are that we are both island nations next to a bigger continent, and maybe we have a region of U.K. that is less warm but more ‘polite’ (south east U.K. and Kanto area of Japan) and a region that is more funny/friendly but harder to understand (Northern England/Scotland and Kansai region). Other than that we are not so similar.

These students aren't really affected by racism because they're generally surrounded by young British people who are (probably) fairly liberal in their attitudes and other international students. Even if they do encounter racism, it'll tend to be in the form of random encounters that can easily be forgotten (I hope). The real damage of UK racism comes from growing up there, coming from there, living there all your life, but still being told or made to feel that you don't belong. Also being a native Briton means you understand pretty much everything that people say and don't say, whereas as a foreigner a lot goes over your head.

I disagree quite intensely. I can explain why if you'd like, but in regards to Japanese people specifically: they have NEVER suffered racism in the UK, Europe or even in the US. Japanese people were even considered to be "white" under American segregation laws (Jim Crow laws). Why is this? it's because Japan and the Japanese people are - and always have been - respected by the West. The Japanese were never considered to be "uncivilised" or "savages" or anything like that because, well, they weren't - and Westerners could see that. That's why Japan and the Japanese people have always been acknowledged as being more or less "equal" to Europe and Europeans in regards to culture and civilization. Even Germany of the 1930s/40s considered the Japanese to be "honorary Aryan".

From my point of view (Canadian) , British food is really cheap, and good quality, but then I like “white” bland food. Cheese, meat , bread etc . I don’t get why people think British food is bad. I think it’s too bland for Asians maybe that’s it.

I’m curious, does anyone know any Japanese people who have a northern Uk accent or any other strong UK accent besides standard English/London. I feel like there simply must be statistically but I’ve never come across anything online about this.

My daughter is half Japanese and she has quite a thick Lancashire accent. The cool thing about it tho she can switch from thick Lancashire to a thick Kyushu accent in a blink of an eye. It’s quite funny really especially when it confuses people.

As an English teacher, I strongly recommend that all foreign students avoid the word 'like' when it has no meaning at all. I have the same recommendation for native English speakers, too!

@@Koolzay I can't speak for your wife. That totally depends on the person and their experience in the UK. I think if you have been subjected to the best of the UK since childhood(not many are to be honest) and show that to her then she may enjoy it. If she's not someone who enjoys walking in the countryside and nature then no the UK probably isn't for her.
