#9 Japanese Efforts to overcome difficulties for using in English

  English is the most general language for the internation language. All the world deny that fact. Japan realized needs of studying English, belatedly. So they have a plan to use official language in English. Because they want to promote globalization. And then they are planning to extend its business abroad. The major companies of Japan have also policy to use office language in English.
  But their English pronunciation is extremely terrible. Most of Japanese can't communicate with native-English speaker. If they'd like to use Englifh for only economic purposes, they wouldn't be necessary. Their business has been already thriving. They don't need to invest in English.  Do you know that Japanese use the third English? They have their own English. But native-English speakers can't understand their saying. It doesn't look like both Japanese and an Enlgish. It means they create another language. Even though they feel about necessary of using English, they wouldn't  use properly.
