I want to be confident about English like him.

JLPT will be held today around the world. If you are taking it, good luck with your exam. I think you have been studying hard for it, so I believe you will do well and should pass it!

Yesterday, I happened to find this video. It's very funny so I want to share it here. I wonder who made it.
But I have a concern. Is it something discriminatory? I hope not. There isn't any discrimination so much in Japan compared with other countries (except for gender discrimination), so we (at least I) tend to be insensitive about it.
The part where I laughed most was that the guy got hysterical because the subtitles didn't appeared when one of fellows spoke.
Anyway, I want to be confident about English like him!

But I have concerns. ("But I am concerned" is fine, too.)
There isn't as much discrimination in Japan compared with other countries (except for gender discrimination), so we (at least I) tend to be insensitive about it.
The part where I laughed most was when the guy got hysterical because the subtitles didn't appear when one of his fellows spoke.
Is it something discriminatory?

There isn't any Discrimination isn't very common so much in Japan compared with to other countries (except for gender discrimination), so we (at least I) tend to be insensitive about it.

Hahah, I've watched that video before. It's quite amusing but I dont think it contains discrimination? Just a bit of humour. ^^"
There are some native English speakers that should have subtitles. Ozzy Osborne for example. Here is an example interview:

I want to be confident about my English, like him. This way, it's your ability to speak English that you want to be confident about. Or you could say, "I want to be confident about speaking English, like him."
I think you have been studying hard for it, so I believe you will do well and should pass it! This sounds fine as written.
But I have a concern. This sounds fine as written since you only discussed one concern you had about the video.

The other day I saw a real news story like that.
There was a woman speaking with a very slight
accent but they still used subtitles.
I thought to myself, "Why are they using subtitles?
She's speaking perfect English."
I have to disagree with you regarding discrimination in Japan, though. There is racial discrimination in every country, as far as I know, and I think Japan is no different. For example, I was talking with my manager, who distributes classes to the teachers in the company. There is a black teacher among those teachers. According to my manager, some companies have told him directly that they do not want any black teachers teaching at their company. If that isn't racial discrimination, I don't know what is....
ぶ・ら・く・み・ん
Oh, Western media often subtitles non-native English speakers. I see.
Thank you for your corrections and comment!
> IroEnpitsu,
Oh, I didn't realized that this video not only is funny but also send the message.
Thank you for your corrections and comment!
> Angel,
I think your JLPT went well!
Thank you for your corrections and comment!
> Phizuol,
Wow. It's very hard to understand him!
Thank you for the comment and the video!
> cuavsfan,
Yes, Japanese shows often subtitles. It's too much for us though. (^o^) But it's helpful for non-Japanese. Thank you for your corrections and comment!
> hikaru,
I think your Japanese is very good.
Thank you for your correction and comment!
> EroOyaji,
Japanese TV often subtitles even on native Japanese speakers. I wonder what those are for? Thank you for your corrections and comment!
> mixmasterJ,
I never said there was NO discrimination in Japan. And the story you mentioned is completely different from discrimination which American people enforce against black people and other minorities.
You are going to take the JLPT2 next year! Good luck and I can always hep you with study for that. Thank you for your comment!
> 王っさん,
It's called 同和問題.
"There isn't any discrimination so much in Japan" doesn't mean "There was NO discrimination in Japan.", does it? Thank you for your comment!
> Jesse,
Yes, it's very funny, isn't it?
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you very much for posting the comments on both this entry and the next one!
