😂 so true right?! Yuzu’s sense of humour is under-rated because he’s Japanese and sometimes the English speakers don’t get his point. The interviewer didn’t understand also he meant it for joke haha.. I’d have laughed so hard at that point if I were the one asking that question. His answer was totally unexpected. So cute yet so true hahahaha
He has improved actually cuz i have seen video where yuzuru does not satisfied with his translator and he end up translating from japanese to eng by himself😆😆
@@frenchhufflepuffie83 Yes you are so right! Environment matters a lot to the accent. He lives in Toronto after all, spending everyday with Canadians with the clearest accent of all English speaking countries :P
What I learned from this video: Jason is so adorable and sweet! Misha is a Multilingual genius. -other skaters trying learn japanese whilst Yuzu and Shoma... err? -there are a lot of Chinese decent skaters representing US. Yuzu is just Savage!
Hahaha! Yuzu is savage yes! His English improved a lot over the years. He actually tried to speak Spanish and Korean too. (Nathan also tried Spanish). Wanted to include in this video but couldn't fit in. Will find time to make part 2 for other languages.. Actually it's quite hard for Japanese to learn English as these 2 languages are just so different (grammar and pronunciation, language structure wise). Also the culture. Japanese are more shy and reserved to express their personal opinion. It would help if they stay in other countries for an extended period. With Shoma training in Europe now, he probably could speak English soon haha
Anna is amazing for her age, its not only skill but confidence to speak in foreign language. Evgenia was also really good. Russian ladies again show how hard-working they are👌🏻
Most of the top Russian Ladies speak some English. Liza Tukt is pretty fluent as well. I have not seen Sasha Trusova speak English yet. Anna is the most impressive.
Ok but Mr Jason was so kind for making sign wishing yuzu a speedy recovery. He's a competitor and yuzu not being there was one less person to compete against but in the spirit of sportsmanship he wished for a talented skater like yuzu to be healthy again. That's remarkable
Jason Brown is such a darling! And Yuzu being sulky about being left out of the video game night! So cute. Overall, they all seem like such great people to be around. Adorable.
Haha yes! Jason Brown is really so sweet. Hope he really become an English teacher after he retired from skating. Surely he will be a super popular teacher :) Yuzu is.. how do we put it? If there is a scale of cuteness from 0-10, his cuteness will be 100 and broke that scale 😂😜
Thing is, Yuzuru's grammar is quite good. At this point, he's probably used to listening to English because his comprehension level, even without a translator is very good. However, I think the problem is that he did not have many chances to practice language production (actually speaking it) especially outside of the skating context, that he kinda withdraws when asked to speak English. Some learners are okay with language production knowing that they'll make mistakes. However, some learners prefer to speak well without mistake whenever they speak because they want their intention to come across every time. This second type of learner is usually slower when it comes to learning how to speak. They just take their time to internalize things and will learn to imitate others in their own time. The struggle is actually in the hesitation to actually speak and having the vocabulary to work with.
Same for me, I could understand English and write it but i was too scared to talk because I would have made mistakes. So going to england with and talking to other students really helped me unblock it if you can say that
And I think it’s also because passive learning process comes before active learning . You read, write and understand before you speak. This « silence » period has no average duration and depends on the learners of the language.
I completely agree. I'm one of those "slow learners". I didn't dare to speak English for a long time, but once I did, I basically was already on a C1 level and earned the Advanced certificate just 2 months later.
Me in the second type trying to learn in Japanese… so very hard! Language class is very formal and then what you actually hear in Japan is something else. 🤦🏽♀️
I know that these athletes are learning new languages the more they travel and meet different people. But watching Evgenia speak japanese, or Misha speak mandarin just made my jaw drop. Plus it was so cute to see Yuzu and russian skaters try speaking english.
The fact that Yuzu caught that "is" he used and changed it to "was" is a good indication that he has a pretty good grammar awareness, it's just that his production is still limited most probably because he doesn't have much chance to practice haha
Finally!!!! Been waiting for this comment! Yes Anna's English is so impressive! Some people said because her family is rich so she went to private schools and could afford the best tutor. But what people didn't realise is that it also takes a lot of effort to speak another language well! We adore Anna for this reason. She's so hardworking! 😃
@@FigureSkatingFan Exactly!!! She's an incredible person! You become good at something not just for having the best things, you become good at something for being pasionate abt it and not giving up!
@@manonairs Heard she learnt French. Which is not surprising. Most Russians elitist do speak French. But couldn’t find any footage of her speaking French haha
@@FigureSkatingFan thank you for your answer! Is her family considered very wealthy or important/high society in Russia? I don’t know much about them other than pictures Anna shares.
He actually can speak english and he is really good at it. But he needs time to process his thoughts and gets nervous for interviews which has limited time.. He is soooo cute.
Actually, is no surprise that Misha Ge speaks Chinese ( mandarin), for his father is Chinese. Also the Americans speaking Chinese, they all are born in Chinese families, so it should be natural for them to speak that language. As, for the Russians speaking a good English, is well known their talent in learning foreign languages . What is more interesting is the struggle of Jason Brown and Medvedeva to speak in Japanese, wich is not an easy language to learn. As for Yuzuru, I think he doesn't need a foreign language to speak, his art speaks for him.
Yeah he's such a sweetheart!! Really hope he has a long career in figure skating and one day he can become an English Teacher in Japan. We are sure many people would want to take up his class hahaha
Any language lover out there? Who is / are the most multi-lingual figure skaters? Let's join us for the language classroom and take a look at the cute moments when the skaters were trying to speak English, Japanese and Chinese and learn a few words from them :)))
I just spent like 5 minutes watching the first minute over and over again because I realized that Yuzu and Shoma start counting with their hand open and I do it with my hand closed lol.
He could hardly speak English until high school. And he said he wasn't good at speaking English. But he made an effort. Few top Japanese athletes can speak English. But he worked hard and got a communication tool. So, while Japanese players are getting together and talking in Japanese at the figure exhibition, he is the only one who feels free to communicate with players from many countries. That leads to why he is loved.
As a languages enthusiast, I really enjoyed this video! Plz take a look at Canadian former skater Kevin Reynold. It impressed me how fluent he is in Japanese, perfect accent and pronounce. Jason Brown is at the same level as Yusuru's English, but we can see they're both improving and doing their best. I asked my husband (who is Taiwanese, while I'm Japanese) about Misha Ge's Chinese skills and he told me it is perfect, native level (which is not a surprise as Misha Ge lives in China as his father is a Chinese former skater). However, about the Chinese-Americans, it seems like only Vincent Zhou speaks in a fluent level.
Wow thanks for the suggestions. Will go and check out on kevin Reynold. Didn’t know he speaks fluent Japanese haha :) Mirai Nagasu also speaks fluent Japanese (too fluent that it lost the fun of it and doesn’t fit in the theme of this video haha). Will try to make another video of skaters who speak fluently on another language next. So would definitely check out Kevin Reynold :) And yes Misha’s chinese carries very strong Beijing accent (which is kinda standard mainland Chinese accent) as he spent around his 10-19 years old there. There’s a lot of fun interaction between him and Boyang and people watching were Super impressed as he doesn’t sound like foreigner at all, total native :) and u r so right, only Vincent speaks fluent Chinese out of the trio. But his chinese has more southern accent rather than the northern accent like Misha’s. Karen’s chinese is very taiwanese also, people can tell. She’s just lack of vocabs. Whereas Nathan, uhm.. haha reports said that his parents didn’t speak Chinese with him at all as his parents wanted to learn English themselves. So they speak English at home. So.. but Nathan is learning Spanish now. He hasn’t tried speaking it in public. We r thinking about making part 2 on other languages like Korean and Spanish etc :)) if you have any fun suggestion or skaters name who are speaking other languages, please let us know. Thanks a lot :))
@@FigureSkatingFan Hi dear, thank you for your reply😊 Here is a quick interview w/ Kevin Reynolds for japanese tv right after his program: ruclips.net/video/L8aFzPQZWts/видео.html I remeber I had seen a few videos of Vincent Zhou chatting with Boyang in Chinese a few years ago, 超可愛💕💕💕😍 Maybe if you search for it in Chinese (i think Boyang's nickname is 天天) you gonna find them👍👍👍 Oh, we should not forget Johnny Weir who is fluent in Russian😉
Отец Миши не из Китая. Да, он китаец. Он родился в СССР ( USSR) , тренировался, выступал на внутренних соревнованиях, а затем уехал работать тренером в Китай . 😊
"I was celebrating alone, because I wasn't invited..." Why does that sound so saddd?? "Eating instant noodles and sleep." Seems like these skaters are introverts, my kind of people be charging up by chilling off. On the other hand, what would I give to be trilingual AND sporty AND talented like Misha Ge!
Haha.. Yuzu purposely made himself sound sad to make fun with Shoma (We found it cute rather than sad hahaha..) Shoma they all kinda see Yuzu as a special existence and didn't dare to ask him along when they were playing video games we guess. And to a certain extent yes, most figure skaters are introverts coz figure skating is quite a lonely sport (you perform alone and practice alone). #INFP kind of Personality.. And to be a polyglot like Misha - You need to create an environment where you can be exposed to different languages for an extended period. He was born in Moscow and stayed there till 10, then his family moved to Beijing when he was 10 to 19, then he went to the US to study from 19.. His parents are skating coaches. And he took up choreography courses at the Beijing Dance Academy and the Hollywood Dance Academy. So yeah, environment + effort are what makes you great :)
Yuzuru is so cute when she's trying to speak English. But I think I really like the way he pronounces the words he says because he is constantly familiar with English because he lives in Canada . Interviewer:Yuzuru will respond in English as well. Yuzuru:What! When did i say yes??! THIS WAS SO FUNNY, I CAN'T.
Muchísimas gracias por la traducción en español. El patinaje artistico es mi disciplina atlética preferida y mi atleta preferido es Yuzuru Hanyu. Dios los bendiga a ambos.
Muchas gracias! Intentaremos traer videos más interesantes. ¡Recuerda compartir el video y estar atento a nuestro canal! Hoy tenemos un nuevo video sobre el dibujo de patinadores artísticos. Únase a nuestro estreno de video más tarde para adivinar qué hay en el dibujo :) ruclips.net/video/msn094J_32s/видео.html
I would like to mention that Japanese lady translator who is in this video and at almost all of the press conferences, she is doing an amazing job, I really appreciate her translations. I am a translator too and I always admire her how well she can translate from Japanese to English!
@@FigureSkatingFan Yes, I am very grateful to her too because she can convey and formulate Yuzu's thoughts so well in English. And she knows all the figure skating expressions as well! :D
Haha! Yuzu counting languages Misha speak was so so cute! When we watched that 3 years ago, we thought that was super cute and always wanted to make a meme / video out of it and finally did haha! Thanks for watching. Remember to share the video and subscribe :)
@@binoeearefin7730 OMG I also found that part super cute! Watching him (and his interaction with other skaters) is so addictive! At first I just like his skating (I started watching him since his Seimei program in 2015, and that program was addictive). Then I saw these videos of his cute interaction.. It's so funny and like u said - addictive! haha :)
@@chunghuey113 woww you're following him for a long time! ♥️Yea I love his seimei performance too♥️ To be honest sometimes I get a bit confused, like is it okay to be jealous of someone I fangirl!?😶 I'm truly obsessed with him and at the same time jealous of him😣♥️♥️
@@binoeearefin7730 Haha same here! Been there, done that! Especially when I was on the ice (I learnt figure skating on my own by watching RUclips since 2013 by watching these figure skaters) and realize it's not easy. Even to fall on the ice like them it's impossible for me to do (Coz I can't even rotate my body like they do when they are doing the jumps haha). At that time I was jealous of them. But after awhile I realize it's unfair for me to wanna do like them because they had been training since super young and by the time they are at their levels, they must have spent at least 10-20,000 hours on ice (Probably more) As the saying goes, you should never judge a fish by its ability to climb the trees. So I just learn to appreciate and get inspiration from what they are doing, while discovering what I like in my life (Travel and adventure for example) and what I'm good at (Language, Numbers and finance for example :)) Hope you will find something you love to do and are actually good at doing one day too!!! Gambatte :)
Yes yes!! Watching them, skating and stories are so addictive and we will surely strike to bring new perspectives into the figure skating world. Thanks a lot for the support! Remember to share the video and keep an eye on our channel! Coming up next, we have a new video on drawing figure skaters today. Join our video premiere later to guess what's in the drawing here: ruclips.net/video/msn094J_32s/видео.html :)
Aya Nihad Awesome! Thank you so much!! We will keep making more and more videos about these Super cute and adorable skaters. Stay tuned and have a great weekend 😎🤓
Es increible todo lo que estos chicos tienen que pasar para hacer lo que todos disfrutamos.Pero lo que es inegable Que Yuzuru Hanyu es un fuera de serie que víno a revolucionar el patinaje de Figuras "Es el Rey"
English is my first language. My mother is French, so I know enough of the language to have a conversation. But if you put me on live TV, I would probably freak out! Haha. I loved at the Beijing Olympics when Nathan Chen told the Chinese reporter who was asking him questions, "My Chinese isn't very good," because he's so used to speaking English. I totally understood that. It's different speaking another language with family versus on television.
Amazing ！ It's important to get the most of communication. I'm Chinese and Japanese speaker but speak English not well. I like international events if I'm forced to say I hope that all human is family. But we're have the language barrier English, Chinese...I think English and Chinese are going to be common languages. It was so common as to be normal.🥺l love figure skating and hope peace in the world. Please pray for world.
Thank you for the nice comment. Let's hope everyone can cheer for everyone, regardless of the nationality which often become a barrier for mankind. Figure skating is the only sport I ever experienced such kind of cheers regardless of nationality. I still remember an event I went to, there's a Japanese lady who sat beside me, carrying a big bag of different flags. When Korean skaters came, she waived the Korean flag and cheered in Korean. When Russian skaters skated, she took out Russian flag from her bag and shouted "Davay". Then when Japanese skaters came, she took out the Japanese flag and shouted the loudest "がんばれ”. That's such a beautiful moment. English is already the common language in the world. Chinese is too hard to learn for foreigners, even though China is getting more and more powerful, but most Chinese people, especially the young generation are learning English. With AI empowered translation becoming more and more accurate, I guess there won't be any change coming soon, that English will be the only common language in the world..
This video made me laugh to death :DDD Your storytelling skills are amazing! Side note: And then they say most Russians hardly speak English... check these figure skaters doing it so great!!
Да, мы действительно должны сказать русским девушкам "Молодцы", особенно Женя! До просмотра фигурного катания большинство людей мало что знают о русских и имеют неправильное представление о русских. Наши китайские друзья даже сказали нам, что у них есть прозвище для русских - «Гонка воинов». Но, увидев на льду столько симпатичных россиян, все полюбили Россию и подумали о том, чтобы однажды побывать там.
6:26 This is the first time I saw this interview and it’s funny to me now how after Satton gave the (。•ω´• b)OK!, Jason still spelled Yuzu’s name wrong. 😂 Jason’s sign really was heart-warming tho~.
Honestly, my dream is to be a translator and to go around the world translating things for people like when it comes to seiyuu events or figure skating; and if it means I can be standing next to Yuzu, sign me up xD (for context, I can speak English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish :D)
@橋本恵子 ああ。。なるほど。私は今日本語を勉強しているので、上記の橋本さんの文章を誤解したかもしれません。私が橋本さんの文章を理解するためにグーグル翻訳を使ったとき、「日本贔屓で日本語もあんなに勉強してるのは、先生になる夢があったのですね。」は次のように翻訳されます "I dream of becoming a teacher because I was studying Japanese so much in Japan." この翻訳で、橋本さんは日本人ではなく、日本で日本語を勉強していると思いました。よろしければ申し訳ありません。 上記の文の正しい翻訳は何ですか？ （日本語を勉強すればするほど、日本語の表現が面白くて、翻訳で理解しにくいと感じます- 笑）。 返信ありがとうございます 💓
Nothing will ever make me laugh as much as
-“Winnie the Pooh, where did that come from?”
-“ I think forest”
😂 so true right?! Yuzu’s sense of humour is under-rated because he’s Japanese and sometimes the English speakers don’t get his point. The interviewer didn’t understand also he meant it for joke haha.. I’d have laughed so hard at that point if I were the one asking that question. His answer was totally unexpected. So cute yet so true hahahaha
I damn near died at that part. 🤣
Jajaja good answer 🤣🤣🤣
instaBlaster...
English is yuzu’s nightmare
😂😆 But he has improved so much over the years.. One day he will be able to speak perfect English :))
He has improved actually cuz i have seen video where yuzuru does not satisfied with his translator and he end up translating from japanese to eng by himself😆😆
@@zura4734 Yes he is super cute there!
Actually his accent sounds good
@@frenchhufflepuffie83 Yes you are so right! Environment matters a lot to the accent. He lives in Toronto after all, spending everyday with Canadians with the clearest accent of all English speaking countries :P
What I learned from this video:
Jason is so adorable and sweet!
Misha is a Multilingual genius.
-other skaters trying learn japanese whilst Yuzu and Shoma... err?
-there are a lot of Chinese decent skaters representing US.
Yuzu is just Savage!
Hahaha! Yuzu is savage yes! His English improved a lot over the years. He actually tried to speak Spanish and Korean too. (Nathan also tried Spanish). Wanted to include in this video but couldn't fit in. Will find time to make part 2 for other languages.. Actually it's quite hard for Japanese to learn English as these 2 languages are just so different (grammar and pronunciation, language structure wise). Also the culture. Japanese are more shy and reserved to express their personal opinion. It would help if they stay in other countries for an extended period. With Shoma training in Europe now, he probably could speak English soon haha
@@FigureSkatingFan yeah, I watched the vid where Yuzu is speaking Spanish (with Javi), Korean (with jun hwa) Chinese with citizen.
@@FigureSkatingFan oh korean too? can you tell me where that's from?
And that Yuzu is adored by even other skaters
Jason is a great skater and he's always friendly with others
Anna is amazing for her age, its not only skill but confidence to speak in foreign language. Evgenia was also really good. Russian ladies again show how hard-working they are👌🏻
They become role models for many young skaters around the world :)

The "Can I speak Japanese" is unforgettable.
"I was celebrating alone, because I wasn't invited..."
Why does that sound so saddd??
"Eating instant noodles and sleep."

They were probably just too tired to regain their energy spent during the competition haha :P

Yuzuru is so cute when she's trying to speak English. But I think I really like the way he pronounces the words he says because he is constantly familiar with English because he lives in Canada .
Interviewer:Yuzuru will respond in English as well.
Yuzuru:What! When did i say yes??!
THIS WAS SO FUNNY, I CAN'T.
Evgenia’s English is so good!
Jason is so aww
Muchísimas gracias por la traducción en español.
El patinaje artistico es mi disciplina atlética preferida y mi atleta preferido es Yuzuru Hanyu.
Dios los bendiga a ambos.
Muchas gracias! Intentaremos traer videos más interesantes. ¡Recuerda compartir el video y estar atento a nuestro canal! Hoy tenemos un nuevo video sobre el dibujo de patinadores artísticos. Únase a nuestro estreno de video más tarde para adivinar qué hay en el dibujo :) ruclips.net/video/msn094J_32s/видео.html
El mio tambien
It makes me happy to see Japanese-speaking players.
The Japanese they speak is really cute and good.
Thank you for your love of Japan👍❤️
I would like to mention that Japanese lady translator who is in this video and at almost all of the press conferences, she is doing an amazing job, I really appreciate her translations. I am a translator too and I always admire her how well she can translate from Japanese to English!
I love her! She helped so many fans around the world like myself to understand what the Japanese skaters think first hand ❤️❤️
@@FigureSkatingFan Yes, I am very grateful to her too because she can convey and formulate Yuzu's thoughts so well in English. And she knows all the figure skating expressions as well! :D
11:20 I'm not crying 😭😭😭 just like yuzu did♥️♥️♥️
Arigatou for this video ♥️
Haha! Yuzu counting languages Misha speak was so so cute! When we watched that 3 years ago, we thought that was super cute and always wanted to make a meme / video out of it and finally did haha! Thanks for watching. Remember to share the video and subscribe :)
@@FigureSkatingFan Yes hahaha and also when he sarcastically said he was left out and alone 😂😂 This boy is super addictive 😣♥️
@@binoeearefin7730 OMG I also found that part super cute! Watching him (and his interaction with other skaters) is so addictive! At first I just like his skating (I started watching him since his Seimei program in 2015, and that program was addictive). Then I saw these videos of his cute interaction.. It's so funny and like u said - addictive! haha :)
@@chunghuey113 woww you're following him for a long time! ♥️Yea I love his seimei performance too♥️ To be honest sometimes I get a bit confused, like is it okay to be jealous of someone I fangirl!?😶 I'm truly obsessed with him and at the same time jealous of him😣♥️♥️
@@binoeearefin7730 Haha same here! Been there, done that! Especially when I was on the ice (I learnt figure skating on my own by watching RUclips since 2013 by watching these figure skaters) and realize it's not easy. Even to fall on the ice like them it's impossible for me to do (Coz I can't even rotate my body like they do when they are doing the jumps haha). At that time I was jealous of them. But after awhile I realize it's unfair for me to wanna do like them because they had been training since super young and by the time they are at their levels, they must have spent at least 10-20,000 hours on ice (Probably more) As the saying goes, you should never judge a fish by its ability to climb the trees. So I just learn to appreciate and get inspiration from what they are doing, while discovering what I like in my life (Travel and adventure for example) and what I'm good at (Language, Numbers and finance for example :)) Hope you will find something you love to do and are actually good at doing one day too!!! Gambatte :)
uwu yuzu is so cute
Yes he's so cute off the ice yet so fierce on the ice! Superb personality!

話せる言語で日本語を微妙そうに数える昌磨が可愛い笑笑
はい！！ 昌磨が可愛すぎる！ 指の数え方からすると、「私の日本語でもそれほど上手ではありません。ほとんど一言語しか話せません」と言うつもりだったと思います。とても可愛い。 フィギュアスケートで長いキャリアを積んでいることを願っています＾＾
Yuzuru's "tian tian jiayou" at the end had me
Me pareció super tierno lo de Jason hacer un letrero♥️♥️❤️ para animar a Yuzuru ❤️
Super fun video, it was very funny, keep 'em coming 😁😁😊

Es increible todo lo que estos chicos tienen que pasar para hacer lo que todos disfrutamos.Pero lo que es inegable Que Yuzuru Hanyu es un fuera de serie que víno a revolucionar el patinaje de Figuras "Es el Rey"
¡Tienes toda la razón!
The uwu is too much to handle the whole lot of them are precious cinnamon rolls 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Right?! These skaters are the cutest creatures in the world!! 😀😆😁
Shcherbakova english queen ❤️😂
Love Anna!!!
3:44 he's so cute hahaha FOR THE POOH!
Yuzuru Hanyu - the cutest figure skater we ever have in the world 😆
Jason is the sweetest person ever
He’s that friend we all wanna have in lives 😃💕
English is my first language. My mother is French, so I know enough of the language to have a conversation. But if you put me on live TV, I would probably freak out! Haha. I loved at the Beijing Olympics when Nathan Chen told the Chinese reporter who was asking him questions, "My Chinese isn't very good," because he's so used to speaking English. I totally understood that. It's different speaking another language with family versus on television.
as someone that is bilingual in English and Japanese I feel for Hanyu-san 😅
I love Yuzuru lol
Amazing ！ It's important to get the most of communication. I'm Chinese and Japanese speaker but speak English not well. I like international events if I'm forced to say I hope that all human is family. But we're have the language barrier English, Chinese...I think English and Chinese are going to be common languages. It was so common as to be normal.🥺l love figure skating and hope peace in the world. Please pray for world.
Thank you for the nice comment. Let's hope everyone can cheer for everyone, regardless of the nationality which often become a barrier for mankind. Figure skating is the only sport I ever experienced such kind of cheers regardless of nationality. I still remember an event I went to, there's a Japanese lady who sat beside me, carrying a big bag of different flags. When Korean skaters came, she waived the Korean flag and cheered in Korean. When Russian skaters skated, she took out Russian flag from her bag and shouted "Davay". Then when Japanese skaters came, she took out the Japanese flag and shouted the loudest "がんばれ”. That's such a beautiful moment.
English is already the common language in the world. Chinese is too hard to learn for foreigners, even though China is getting more and more powerful, but most Chinese people, especially the young generation are learning English. With AI empowered translation becoming more and more accurate, I guess there won't be any change coming soon, that English will be the only common language in the world..
Благодарю от всего сердца людей, которые сделали русские сабы.
This video made me laugh to death :DDD Your storytelling skills are amazing!
Side note: And then they say most Russians hardly speak English... check these figure skaters doing it so great!!
Молодцы наши русские девочки!
Да, мы действительно должны сказать русским девушкам "Молодцы", особенно Женя! До просмотра фигурного катания большинство людей мало что знают о русских и имеют неправильное представление о русских. Наши китайские друзья даже сказали нам, что у них есть прозвище для русских - «Гонка воинов». Но, увидев на льду столько симпатичных россиян, все полюбили Россию и подумали о том, чтобы однажды побывать там.
@@FigureSkatingFan Ваша правда! Многие девушки говорят на английском языке, а Женечка вообще человек мира!❤️ Благодарю ваш канал!🙏🕊️
6:26 This is the first time I saw this interview and it’s funny to me now how after Satton gave the (。•ω´• b)OK!, Jason still spelled Yuzu’s name wrong. 😂 Jason’s sign really was heart-warming tho~.
Honestly, my dream is to be a translator and to go around the world translating things for people like when it comes to seiyuu events or figure skating; and if it means I can be standing next to Yuzu, sign me up xD (for context, I can speak English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish :D)
ジェイソン選手、演技も人柄も好きです。日本贔屓で日本語もあんなに勉強してるのは、先生になる夢があったのですね。
世界で活躍してる選手でも、英語に苦戦する日本人の弱点からは、逃れられないのが、なんとも。
えと。。橋本さんは日本人じゃないか？でも日本語の文章を上手？😱
@@FigureSkatingFan 様。
私は、日本人です。
日本人は、英語が苦手なのは、自他共に、認める事実で、世界で活躍してる日本人選手は英語に触れる機会が多いので、イメージとして日本国内にいる人より英語が上手だと思っていたのです。なので、英語が苦手な日本人の特徴を持っていて、少し微笑ましく、大変だけど頑張って、との意味で書いたのです。
@橋本恵子 ああ。。なるほど。私は今日本語を勉強しているので、上記の橋本さんの文章を誤解したかもしれません。私が橋本さんの文章を理解するためにグーグル翻訳を使ったとき、「日本贔屓で日本語もあんなに勉強してるのは、先生になる夢があったのですね。」は次のように翻訳されます "I dream of becoming a teacher because I was studying Japanese so much in Japan." この翻訳で、橋本さんは日本人ではなく、日本で日本語を勉強していると思いました。よろしければ申し訳ありません。 上記の文の正しい翻訳は何ですか？ （日本語を勉強すればするほど、日本語の表現が面白くて、翻訳で理解しにくいと感じます- 笑）。 返信ありがとうございます 💓
@@FigureSkatingFan 様、
私は翻訳は出来ません。英語が出来ないので。
ただ、翻訳が違ってるのは、主語です、私の元の文では、ジェイソン選手が主語です。
日本語は、主語が省略される場合が多いです。前の文章との繋がりで省略しても理解出来る場合は、省略します。一説ずつ翻訳すると??になるのかもしれません。
翻訳は出来ずに、助けにはなれなかったけど、日本語の勉強頑張ってくださいね。
橋本恵子ーさん、そうなんですね。はい、有り難うございます。
i love this vid so much >
Cutest skaters :)))
yuzu when asked to speak english: please don't
Jason Brown is such a big sweetheart, please😭
Gracias por las traducciones al castellano 👍🏻
