日本人の同僚から彼らの考えを聞き出す方法
アメリカの同僚は一般的に、まだその案が十分に練れていなくたって、とにかく提案をすることに積極的です。
その一方で、私の日本人の同僚はこれまで、何かについて尋ねられると、それをストレスに感じているようでした。
私の方法が、間違っているんでしょうか?
(私は日本の同僚と英語で話します。)
Those expressions below may sound more natural.
私のやり方が、いけないのか?
俺が、悪かったのか?
+多くの日本人は何か質問されるとそれをストレスに感じているようです。
Many Japanese people seem to be suffering stress when they are asked something.
日本人の同僚に助言する方法
アメリカでは一般的に同僚からの注意や助言や提案は望ましいことす。 これまで私の日本人の同僚は、私がそのようなことをするとストレスに感じているようでした。私のやりかたは正しい方法ではありませんか?
(私は日本の同僚と英語で話します。)
In my opinion, all depends on the person, however, in general, we have to take much care of how to say/do that. I'd like to talk more directly but many of Japanese people don't like doing the same even though they speak in English or in other language(s). I would talk like that (although it sounds very weird to you):
I think you would mind if I say a little bit of my opinion, but could you please let me tell you? I tell you "so sorry" in advance for the case you mind about that. Well...I think it might be a bit better if you would choose this way / you would do like that. Could you please try doing that?
After they accept your way: Thank you so much, (name)-san, and please let me know if/when you have opinion or advice for me.
I hope this helps you. By the way, I understand you and I prefer talking in the more direct way but to live here in Japan, I need to talk like that or much politer (in Japanese) and it gives me much stress!
