なぜ、日本語で喋られるか。理由は日本人と深い経験が欲しい。勿論、英語で会話できるけど、少し距離がある。日本人にとって英語を慣れるによると、適当な返事を考えるにつれて瞬間を集中しにくい。一方で、日本語を使えば相手がゆっくりして瞬間を楽しむことが出来る筈だ。他の理由は自分じゃない言語で思う経験も欲しい。

Why do you want to be able to speak in Japanese? It’s because I want to have meaningful experiences with Japanese people. Of course, I could speak with them in English but there will be a slight distance between us. Depending on how comfortable they are with English, as they think about the appropriate response, it will be difficult for them to be in the moment. One the other hand, if I speak in Japanese, they can relax and enjoy the moment. My other reason for wanting to speak Japanese is because I want to experience thinking in another language besides my native tongue.
