UCLA, you are proficient because you live in Japan. I studied Spanish for seven years in high school and college combined and am no where near fluent. I lived in Italy and after a few months my Italian language skills (at least orally P were superior to my Spanish skills.



I was still better at Japanese after 3 years than these kids are after 6 years. I don’t care how you shake it, these kids are not learning the language.

If the Japanese have acknowledged it, why am I wrong for seeing it as well?
