[QUOTE="Hanafuda, post: 470367, member: 32184"] The short answer is YES, all japanese people speak some English. They don't speak it well, but everyone knows a few thousand English words because they've actually been integrated into the japanese language as part of their everyday speech. When the Normans invaded England in 1066, the Anglo-Saxon Old English was drastically changed by the influx of French words. This had already happened several hundred years before when the Saxons came in. And it had happened during the Roman occupation as well. This is why we have so many ways of saying the same thing in English. The same kind of revolution is happening in the japanese language now,and has been for about 100 years. They use English they don't even know is English. Add to that the fact that all japanese people take 6 years of English as a foreign language during jr. high and high school, and you've got a culture that's very well versed in our basic vocabulary. English words are "cool" in Japan. Very few pop songs don't have a short English phrase in the lyrics, and lots of coffee shops, bars, clothing shops and etc. there have English names. These names and phrases are usually rather meaningless though. Check out engrish.com. [/QUOTE]
