My idea about education in Japan
I've lived in Japan for 19 years, and I was educated as a typical Japanese student. And now I'm 19 and came to think about our country's education.
I think, Japanese education is not good in terms of language education. This problem has made a lot of controversy here, this means lots of Japanese think it's not good and should be improved.
Japanese government and companies have emphasized English's importantness importance for our future. But the way they teach English to us is totallly crazy, wasting time and means learns almost nothing.
If you have a Japanese friend, you may have noticed that they can read English but can't speak English at all! If you don't, take a look at our president at the interenational council, you'll see, it's so embarassing for us though.
Of course we can't, cause we just have learned lots of words and read, so gramatically made sentenses make gramatical sentences and it's gramatical structure which teachers took our 6 years. No speaking. How is it possible to speak fluently?
How's your countries' education of foreign languages? I'm really curious about it.僕はスペイン人です、私の教育はことが良いです
Even though I'm not a native english speaker I can speak fluently because in my country english is teached as a second language, I studied half of my subjects during high school such as biology or history in english and having the same number of english lessons such as spanish. But now, many children study everything in english except Spanish language and maths (the hardest haha). I consider spanish education good when we talk about languages but the system is not good at all, there is too much failure between children and many people can't finish their obligatory education. I bet this happens because many people have difficulties and because we are lazy too haha, many spanish people would kill me for saying this. and also the government doesn't help :(
Our president and none of the people who are politicians can speak a second language, when they go to another country they speak spanish and say a few words like "Thank you, hello, nice to meet you" in the country's language, it is sooo embarrasing for us, you can see this example of our president in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjpfTuPVQ54 (many people over the social medias made fun of this, because in Spain japanese culture is very well known and some people like to act as japanese saying basic japanese words while they talk in spanish and it gets a bit annoying)
I think that japanese is a difficult language that makes difficult to their speakers to learn another languages, also, japanese people have their own social medias where they not connect to people from around the world, such as niconico, LINE or ameba. English is used as a global language to communicate with the world and at the moment, Japan does not need (or dont want to?) that.

Dear Mr. Marshall: I am writing to complain about the bad condition I found my room the moment I arrived to your hotel, in which everything was unclean/dirty, even the toilet, that it had poor hygienic conditions. When I had my room assigned and the key on me, I decided to go to my room, and when I opened my room I saw that it wasn't prepared for the next guest, having things like the bed untidy, the floor dirty and the toilet with the shower and wc humid/wet with the towwels on the floor used by the person who was before me. To add more insult to injury, there were ants inside the closet. For this reasons, I believe it is a common response for me to ask to be moved to a different room, with everything clean. Yours sincerely Marie Robinson. [The words written with "/" are like that because I don't know if the first word was well written)August 28, 201511
- The celebration that my family and me enjoy the most. If I have to choose one of my family favorites celebration, then I must talk about our New Year's Eve. It is the perfect moment for the family to reunite and spend some time together, we talk and sing together, we also dance along the music which sounds by the TV. During the dinner we prepare special dishes that we rarely eat during the year. What we usually eat is seafood, which is the typical thing to eat during this period, along with a soup. We prepare two different soups, one for the kids and the other for the adults, which has some fish in it and tastes different. Even though I am consider an adult, I still prefer eating the soup prepared for the kids, I don't like seafood taste so that's why I eat the kids one. After having dinner, we prepare the grapes. When the midnight comes, during the first twelve seconds we eat one grape per second. We have to clean each grape because if we swallow a seed it can be harmful, so we have to be ready for it! After the New Year comes, my family and me enjoy hugging each other and some champaign is open to celebrate it. It is really fun and also one of the most exciting nights I spend with my family, that's why I love it.May 25, 201530
