Bro, I've been living in Japan for 15 BOMBOKLA years, man.

Of course I speak Japanese, yet I still have conversations like,

Oh, you talking about the language that we're having a full-ass conversation in right now?

What part of 15 years makes you think I'm still in the learning phase?

This has happened to me an insane amount of times.

It feels like no matter what, it just doesn't click in some people's brains that this foreign-looking-ass nugget can comprehend just as much Japanese as they can.

Oh yeah, um, I got restricted on TikTok when I said the N-word, so from now on I'll try to use the word nugget instead.

Growing up in Japan has been interesting, for me to say the least, especially considering the fact that people see me and go back.

I have a lot of stories to share and I honestly didn't know where to start, So I decided to make a series called Growing Up in

Japan as a Blazian Alongside some day-to-day story times I have

that I want to share with you guys And in this part 1 video, I'm going to talk about times people assumed I couldn't speak Japanese

When you live in Japan and you look like this

People are going to assume you don't understand the language at

all Like I'm not even kidding One of the most occurring

bullshit I have to deal with Be them annoying ass high

schoolers who don't know how to shut the fuck up and my door business What?

You're so bad.

You're so black.

You're Bobby Orgong.

Oh, is that?

What?

That movie was a bad guy.

I'm really mad.

Yeah, I understood that.

It's annoying most of the time, but it also creates some funny and also a bit awkward situations I've experienced, which I'm about to share with you.

I had a friend back in high school.

I'll refer to her as Diana.

She didn't speak any Japanese other than Konichiwa or Arigato.

No idea where she got that American accent.

One day in class, a man walks in mid-lecture and introduces himself as the translator.

Okay buddy.

I don't know how common it is for other countries, but when foreign students come to school, they almost always have a translator for the student if they don't speak Japanese.

I had one too, but that's a story for later.

Let me talk about how this man pulls up a chair and looks at me.

Bro, I closed my eyes just sitting there like this nigga about to be dead wrong.

My name is Takeshi.

I am your translator.

It's nice to meet you, Diana-san.

Ah, I'm good.

Diana is at the back of the room.

When I tell you, that shit was so embarrassing.

Bro, imagine being told you gotta translate for a student.

Japanese to English.

Then you go to the class, you spot the one most non-Japanese looking one.

A nugget!

And they introduce themselves with the most Japanese name you have ever heard in your life.

Just for context though, I have a Japanese Japanese name.

Like up to this very day, I still get surprised looks whenever I introduce myself.

So I understand.

I understand but like you could at least ask the teacher

and have him point to the seat I don't mind the extra help

but I think she needs it more than I do There was also

that one time when I was working at the convenience store a few years back

and this one customer walked up to my register

I'm speaking Japanese bitch!

My name tag is literally in Japanese.

Do you not see it?

Are you blind and deaf?

Bro?

I was so done I just packed up his stuff and gave it to him and I can't even blame him.

You know what?

It's fine This happens to me no matter where I work

There was also a time I was on registered duty on my recent job

and the customer would just reply to me using this really bad English

When they were clearly speaking Japanese to their friend a few seconds ago, please I genuinely can't understand half of what you're saying.

Please stop.

It's insulting for some people.

Actually, it's insulting for me I'm one of those people.

There's a reason why we keep replying in Japanese, regardless of your attempts to speak English.

I'm really sorry, but it's true.

Okay, the next one might be the worst one yet.

I went to go get a test.

I forgot the name of it, but it's a test to see if you have COVID or not.

It was my first time going to the hospital alone

and I was scared

so I was standing there looking around just very confused about

how I get to the part where I actually get the test

and to any of you wondering I had already walked up

to the receptionist to ask her what I was supposed to do and she told me to wait okay.

Girl had me waiting for 20 minutes dog how long are you expecting me to stay here?

As I was I was considering leaving this woman walks up to me and says Hello, may I help you?

You need to buy a ticket at the machine over there

and she pointed at the vending machine in the corner So I was like, oh, oh my gosh, thank you so much and I bowed to her

and went to the machine bought the ticket then turned around to head to the receptionist Okay, let's go Hmm?

Is she taking a test too?

Yes, are you together?

No, I'm not sure if this girl is a little bit different Oh, that's right I will explain the process of the test.

speak Japanese yet so we also had a personal translator.

Our translator happened to have the most horrendous Japanese accent known to mankind.

I was not able to understand a word that she was saying

and as a 10 year old I got frustrated pretty quickly

and pretty easily and I would go home and complain to my mom.

My sister would do the same as well.

The reason why I didn't like her wasn't just because of the accent it was also because she was condescending towards us.

Our Japanese wasn't very good to be honest but our comprehension was pretty decent.

Guess you will still explain stuff to us as if we were stupid.

It really got on our nerves and we did not like her at all.

After a good while of complaining, I noticed she stopped coming at some point.

I didn't really remember why, so I went to ask my mom, mind you, the audio is pretty shitty.

100

I asked her if we could record, she said yes, and she was a little too shy, so I had to record when she was at least expecting it, so she's pretty far away from the mic, and I'm on my phone,

101

so please bear with me.

102

You're a teacher for a teacher?

103

Yes, yes, yes.

104

You're a teacher for a second.

105

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

106

You're a teacher for a teacher for a second.

107

You're a teacher for a little English.

108

Because you didn't understand what you were saying.

109

I mean, that's the point to having a translator, right?

110

So if you were to learn a teacher without a teacher, you'd better be able to learn a lesson.

111

You're a teacher for a little bit.

112

Oh, so I didn't have that.

113

I'm a teacher for a teacher.

114

I'm a teacher for a teacher.

115

What is English?

116

This speech is English?

117

What kind of English?

118

Okay, so apparently my mom asked for a new translator after that because we would complain so much.

119

I don't really remember getting a new translator though.

120

Keep in mind this was like a decade ago.

121

I was still a child.

122

I was being a brat.

123

I don't want to see any comments being like, oh, you're so mean.

124

I was like 10.

125

So that's the end of the video.

126

I really hope you enjoyed it.

127

And oh, I went to America to see my friends friends

128

and I had so much fun oh my god

129

so my next few videos are probably gonna be about America yes there's multiple videos

130

131

132

133

134

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
