If the average Japanese cannot into English, why are English words plastered all over signs and advertisements in Japan? I'm not even talking about random text to look hip. Was fucking around on mapcrunch, I saw a multi-level garage with a list of businesses on each of the levels with no Japanese translation. I can get Japanese people can learn enough English to identify key words, but I've seen some oddly specific words thrown around, like a car repair shop with the sign "L1 SERVICE PIT. L2 PARTS SHOP"
I'm confused on exactly how well the average Japanese understands English.

we substituted many japanese words to english in our way
and we are pretty much used to see words in english

but no it's only limited to the words level
do not expect us to understand when you naturally speak some sentences in your language
>>
Do the signs that say "Japanese only" mean they don't speak other languages or that they don't serve foreigners?

language of course
later is too raciss

I wouldn't put it past them, though. I'm sure there are bathhouses that would be displeased to see my hairy back in the tub.

Average Japanese understand basic English words.

But speaking English is very difficult for Japanese people, because grammar of Japanese is completely different with English.

I have noticed that you guys tend not to use articles (the, a), is this because you don't understand their use or just that you forget?
>>
I heard Russians have no article in their language. Japanese don't use such articles properly just because they're dumb, not studied English well enough.

Not really. Westerners get Chinese tattoos, because hanzi are exotic and cryptic.
