But I don't think if he were Japanese he wouldn't imagine or rather associate mackerel room with 'packed like sardines' -patagonI'm Japanese, I speak and write perfect Japanese, and when it comes to writing and speaking English, I speak and write by far better English than ordinary native people do. But since I am not a native English writer & speaker, I have some features that native people usually don't have. So in what point?
The point is that my English is very standard, and their English is broken and colloquial as is the same as here in Slashdot Japan, Japanese Slashdotters don't speak Japanese like NHK people do, so they(native people) might tell I am not a native speaker, but they would say I speak and write English very grammatical and very standard both in speaking & writing. --Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters
