@Apache Helicopter that would be very unlikely. Japan doesnt have that many good players in foreign leagues and the ones that are good enough all go to europe for obvious reasons
@Ann Piez you're dumb, it's not a good question to ask someone that doesn't understand you very well because they wouldn't know wether it's a joke or not.
when I lived in Japan in the Kansai area, I met so many people like him. That's why I could never really reply with Yes at the question "Are Japanese people shy?". Cause they were not. Instead, they were just like him: Confident, silly, a bit innocent, and always laid back and chill. And fun to hang out with^^ As a mainland European, I started calling the Japanese "true tropical islanders" because of these character traits♡ Cause that's how I wanna become.
I think it is just a different way of socializing. I found Kansai people more annoying, but then I am used to living in places like London, Paris, Berlin etc... where they share the same non-Kansai urban mindset.
Japanese nods a lot, it's just part of their body language and communication. In his case i'd say it's of kind of an equivalent of "yeah?", "okay?" or "uh uh", or even "know what i mean?".
The Crane Apparel youve not talked to many foreign people huh. he clearly means that his son will probably learn english, givin how he is living in america xD
He's doing a great job and you can actually understands him, having a conversation with him would be 10 time more fun than speaking to the average native English speaker
I’m Japanese and currently trying to improve my pronunciation but he made me realize that confidence is the most crucial thing. I sincerely respect him.
100% correct. If you don't have native speakers in your area, try finding people on to video chat with. Easy to find friends if you have a hobby like video games. Don't use AI to correct your pronunciation. It's more about muscle control so you need someone to actually look at your mouth to say R and L correctly.
I'm an English teacher, and YES!!!! Confidence is super important! Don't worry about mistakes, just keep speaking! Confidence increases the effectiveness of communication!
This man knows that the disconnect between him saying "IM VERY EXCITED" and then staring dead eyed into the camera for a long quiet moment is hilarious and you cant convince me otherwise. he may have not mastered english but he's mastered deadpan comedy
TBH, this is probably the best kind of humour you can do without fully speaking a language. It takes a high level of proficiency to make witty jokes because you have to understand the language on an intuitive level.
@@urphakeandgey6308 exactly, so many jokes involve wordplay. Some jokes rely on it entirely. Like when is a door not a door? When it's ajar. That joke will not translate to any language. It's more of a riddle but the point stands
Baby noises in my language, when you describe them (I think as an onomatopoeia?) are different than in English. In English we say goo goo ga ga, in Farsi it's tee too tee.
I've heard that native Japanese speakers are often very impressed with how well Americans sound speaking the language. It helps when you've mastered more than enough sounds speaking English.
George Osboon does it really matter to you? they both mean the same thing, have the same amount of letters, and are both informal ways to say “going to”.
No other MLB would answer that baby noises in Japanese questions like he did .I think most guys would say the same thing and start getting upset at the person interviewing . Then again the question wouldn't be asked to a guy who only knows English lol. He truly seems like a good guy.

@@astropgn That's pretty much the staple in learning another language. You can always understand more than you can speak. I was in an ESL class for 3 years as a kid. I could understand what my teachers and classmates were saying, but kept vomiting random words and couldn't speak at all. It was hard putting into words what you wanted to say. Understanding? No problem.

He most likely does, he's aware he's making jokes and is deliberately dabbling in deadpan humor as well. His western friends probably laugh at him often in a friendly way, and he comes to expect it when he talks
Yeah it's so much more important to just get your message across than worry too much about grammar. Actually speaking regularly is the only way to become close to fluent.
It’s true that speaking despite not 100% fluent helps. I came to US when I was 13 knowing English but not good at speaking. But I just speak anyway and now 6 years later I’m an interpreter and most people don’t even know from my accent I’m from Thailand

@SSG Live yes, but that doesnt necessarily mean he was expressing said pride with a head nod. the person you replied to explained it just fine, dont continue this unnecessary conversation
Honestly I didn’t get the joke because I felt like his English is good, maybe this is more interesting to native English speakers who don’t speak another language and don’t engage with people who don’t speak English regularly (don’t travel to foreign countries). Try to learn a language. This guy understood everything the reporter asked and responded appropriately and clearly. Minor grammatical mistakes.
Lil Sokz I don't think anyone is hating. You don't speak the English language... so what? If I went to Japan and didn't speak Japanese, I wouldn't be embarrassed.
Like.. I laugh because he sounds like my 4 year old son.. but then I remember I can barely speak one language and this guy is like, "yea, I'll just learn these other 2 languages.."
You americans shouldn't feel bad about only speaking 1 language. To us foreigners its easy to learn english because EVERYTHING is in english...it was never hard work, but entertainment. Movies, TV shows, games, etc, etc.... I'm from South America, Portuguese is my mother language, speak a German dialect called Hunsruck because of my heritage, speak spanish cuz i live near Uruguay and Argentina, and know english because you know...entertainment. Go easy on yourselves. You dont NEED to know French or freakin Italian.
@@AK-vs9nr in Indonesia better yet. we're here when we speak with an American accent. but when it comes to dictionaries and theory, we use British English.
@@AK-vs9nr That and the USA is so massive that most people will never leave it or have a reason to speak another language. Don't get me wrong we're taught a new language in school (maybe not well.. But still). I just couldn't speak one sentence in French and I took it for 4 years lmao. But I'm sure if I found myself traveling to Quebec (not too far from my state of NY) I'd use it more. Lots of countries in Europe are very close together and very different in terms of culture and languages. Some states in America are as big as countries. It's neat to see all the different accents within the US tho.
Thats another cool thing about watching UFC. You can watch some of the biggest names in the sport go from knowing zero english to being fluent in it within a short period of time.
I still struggle with Spanish here and there, despite studying it for 2 years. And that's supposed to be the easiest language for native English speakers to learn. So my hat's off to this guy.
@@cookiewoke1899 I took Spanish for 5 years in school and still have no clue how to use se/le/la/lo/te/me or whatever. I kind of get it, but mostly dont. That's American Spanish classes for you!
I'd love to go over to another country and learn the language. I'd love to go to Japan. My Japanese is shit but I'm the type of bloke who jumps in both feet, drowns and retreats back home before jumping back in.
Unbeginner No, maybe you don't live there. Maybe you have better English as a second language because you've had more practice at two languages. How is your baseball? Can you get into a state team? This adventurous fellow has chosen to live in the United States. I credit him for following a dream and being adventurous. Like all ventures, he's going into grounds he's not confident in, the English language. Rather than being fraught with fear, he's taking it head on. Even with people criticizing him, he's following a dream. I respect him for it. I have less respect for those who feel compelled to make fun of him while he struggles.
Looks like a cool guy.

I was once so high i was speaking Romanian with Bulgarians and we understood eachother
"Banana , because monkey never collapse. Banana, everyday.
Honestly I didn’t get the joke because I felt like his English is good, maybe this is more interesting to native English speakers who don’t speak another language and don’t engage with people who don’t speak English regularly (don’t travel to foreign countries).
Try to learn a language. This guy understood everything the reporter asked and responded appropriately and clearly. Minor grammatical mistakes.
I don't know who this guy is, but god damn. I love him!
Listen to him talk about eating bananas. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen
Japanese baseballer.
"But more cold, Minnesota. Unbelievable." As a northern Minnesotan, I can confirm.
I’m Minnesotan too. What he said is true. It is cold here😂
wisconsin and minnesota are extremely cold places to live
🤣
Minnesota isn’t cold
Edit: my water bottle froze
Lol

He was transforming into the terminator “I’ll be back”
As they do in Japan
He is so cute and funny 🥰 😂
"I am exciting."

Das Licht darum ging's gar nicht. Es ging darum, dass die Aussage überhaupt nicht zu seinem Gesichtsausdruck passt.

“I am exciting!“
“You sound excited.“
“No, I said I am exciting, damn you!“
😂
Wish I could give 2 thumbs up😂😂😂😂
Haduken!
💀
Had to check if he actually said that lol
Dont laugh, we sound like this when we speak japanese
Great comment
And they can laugh at us for that. It’s all jokes, no hate.
Very true.
im japanese but so funny
I laughed because this is so wholesome lol. Especially when he talked about his child
정말 자존감이 높은 사람이고
유쾌한 사람 이다 ^^
respect to my Japanese homie. Keep practicing, don't let the haters get at you!
***** why don't you shut up? rude
xXPuNkRoCkRulesXx Turmoil is a troll and he does this in every video he comments on. Relax.
How can I guy like this have haters?
How can anyone hate this guy? :'^D
Lil Sokz I don't think anyone is hating. You don't speak the English language... so what? If I went to Japan and didn't speak Japanese, I wouldn't be embarrassed.
The sheer confidence in this man is inspiring.
It’s funny to us but mad respect to him for doing his best to learn a whole new language in short time.
tru are they mocking this guy for not speaking perfect english
If l heard correctly he said he was learning Spanish too…
@@_Tp__ nobody is mocking him. Im sure he knows some of the things he says are funny. He is probably a very funny guy in Japanese.
Don’t try to learn French I lived in France for 5 years and it was so hard the language and the grammar are so hard
@@zzzzzz-rn3oh nah people said he shouldn’t be on the team since he can’t speak English lmao
Man I miss him. He's so much fun and just seems like a great guy.
Like.. I laugh because he sounds like my 4 year old son.. but then I remember I can barely speak one language and this guy is like, "yea, I'll just learn these other 2 languages.."
Props to you for having a relatively objective view of the world
You americans shouldn't feel bad about only speaking 1 language.
To us foreigners its easy to learn english because EVERYTHING is in english...it was never hard work, but entertainment.
Movies, TV shows, games, etc, etc....
I'm from South America, Portuguese is my mother language, speak a German dialect called Hunsruck because of my heritage, speak spanish cuz i live near Uruguay and Argentina, and know english because you know...entertainment.
Go easy on yourselves. You dont NEED to know French or freakin Italian.
@@AK-vs9nr well, its better to learn french than going mad at people not being able to speak english in paris.
@@AK-vs9nr in Indonesia better yet. we're here when we speak with an American accent. but when it comes to dictionaries and theory, we use British English.
@@AK-vs9nr That and the USA is so massive that most people will never leave it or have a reason to speak another language. Don't get me wrong we're taught a new language in school (maybe not well.. But still). I just couldn't speak one sentence in French and I took it for 4 years lmao. But I'm sure if I found myself traveling to Quebec (not too far from my state of NY) I'd use it more.
Lots of countries in Europe are very close together and very different in terms of culture and languages. Some states in America are as big as countries. It's neat to see all the different accents within the US tho.
''I have book'' 😂
EDIT: THE DOUBLE WINK AT THE END LOL

Looked healthy to me.
"I have book."
I'm just grinning ear to ear everytime I watch this.
I love this guy.
Big credit to him for learning English!
Yo
Thats another cool thing about watching UFC. You can watch some of the biggest names in the sport go from knowing zero english to being fluent in it within a short period of time.
For a successful man you spend a lot of time on RUclips
@@genogeno7289 he’s everywhere lmao
English is the largest language in the world. Why big credit?

Respect. People don't realize how hard learning a foreign language is
I still struggle with Spanish here and there, despite studying it for 2 years. And that's supposed to be the easiest language for native English speakers to learn. So my hat's off to this guy.
@@cookiewoke1899 dutch and indonesian is easy :))
@@cookiewoke1899 I took Spanish for 5 years in school and still have no clue how to use se/le/la/lo/te/me or whatever. I kind of get it, but mostly dont. That's American Spanish classes for you!
@@chromberries7329 Im Spanish and trust me not even spanish people speak proper spanish 🤣
Yeah tell me about it im from finland so I have to learn my own language, swedish and english.

That look is what 5 year olds make lol

Hahahaha cracking me up
Can't fault the guy, English is a second language. Anyone who disses him, I'd like to hear their Japanese.
Ohio! Utah Do! ;)
I'd love to go over to another country and learn the language. I'd love to go to Japan. My Japanese is shit but I'm the type of bloke who jumps in both feet, drowns and retreats back home before jumping back in.
Tom Blackwood
Well, we don't live in Japan, do we. Besides, most of us have much better English as second language.
Unbeginner
No, maybe you don't live there. Maybe you have better English as a second language because you've had more practice at two languages. How is your baseball? Can you get into a state team?
This adventurous fellow has chosen to live in the United States. I credit him for following a dream and being adventurous. Like all ventures, he's going into grounds he's not confident in, the English language. Rather than being fraught with fear, he's taking it head on. Even with people criticizing him, he's following a dream. I respect him for it.
I have less respect for those who feel compelled to make fun of him while he struggles.
Unbeginner
Glad you agree!
