“ You speak English” “no just that last sentence explaining”

Exmusicman :

That video of Ohtani speaking perfect English with Cameron Binks always cracks me up

TheIzzylee :

"we never got over that language barrier"

EEEE :

I personally think they just don't fw the English language and I respect that

Josue :

They trying to hook up these interpreters with jobs

loren :

They usually prefer to use a translator just so if they make a mental mistake there aren’t any super bad misunderstandings. Ohtani also uses one so his Japanese fans can listen to his interviews

ashieboogles :

He chooses to speak Japanese in interviews so his Japanese followers can understand

amanda 💕 :

Ohtani has lived in the US since 2018. Yall really think he can’t speak some english by now?

FastFoodGuido :

Wait until they find out how many Japanese people speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish 😅😅

trev :

a lot of foreign players choose to speak in their native language because they don’t want to risk being misinterpreted, it’s also a way for them to maintain a connection with fans in their home country

Nick🦦 :

“no just that first speech and this one explaining it”

Pear :

ohtani has talked about how he chooses to use an interpreter to better appeal to his fans back in Japan and the other Japanese Dodgers have followed suit, its been common knowledge that he's conversational since his time on the Angels

ufod :

I mean, I'm conversational in Spanish, but if I knew that everything I said was being videoed and any possible mistakes would be seen by millions of people, I would also ask for an interpreter. 🤷‍♀

JAYCE🤨 :

Rookie Chroniger III :

They all speak English they learn it in school in Japan they all just fake it. Ohtani sure as hell knows English he’s been here for almost 9 years

AJ/Gumpy :

“No one will believe you”

sunders :

They do it for their Japanese fans

ライダー :

I amライダー

Shelby :

if I'm saying something that's going to be broadcast to the whole planet and recorded forever I'm DEFINITELY saying it in the language I'm most comfortable with

Audrey :

It’s a respect thing!

oy_lumo :

people dont realize a lot of them can speak passable english, but they arent comfortable enough to do it front of the press/cameras where one mistake can be potentially career altering. when talking off camera its not that serious
