Funnily enough, I went to the interview and the person who interviewed me was an old asian guy with an extreme Asian accent, like, really asian, "Wen I stopu speking yu can start" kind of accent, and I suddenly remembered that if you mirror the person you're trying to build rapport with, it would work like a charm, so I started speaking in an really messed up weaboo asian accent, then I realised that I had already introduced myself in an normal accent, I knew I fucked up and then look he gave me after that will keep haunting me until I pass, I just hope he isn't the one who's scoring my project. If I don't pass, I'm blaming Japanese people for making me believe that their English is good.

That's pretty thug life, "I'm not trying to ridicule you sir, I just was told that when in Rome do as Romans do..." kind of excuse, that's why I never try to match others... unless I'm asked to.

This is where my American Newscaster accent comes in handy - no one ever questions that.

Do you want to identify a Spanish that doesn't know English (not even to have a casual conversation)? They will affirm that they have a "middle-high English level", and they are likely to be boomers or at most millenials. It's only natural for a learning system where anyone having at least a B2 can teach students from kindergarten to high school, and the average B2 speaker here can cause deafness.

How did you come under this impression, I have to ask? They very much are like the French in the "we don't need any other language" attitude and thus refuse to actively learn any and just shout French louder at you, if you don't understand. Well that describes any English speaking native abroads too, for that matter.
Rule of thumb: if a country dubs stuff outside of kids' media, they bad at anglish and/or can't read.

It was a joke on how often I have consumed Japanese media to the point I have forgotten what's the acceptable degree of my "Japenisu" act and me being an absolute asshole and avoiding the responsibility of my own act by blaming the Japanese.
