it rubs me up the wrong way it’s all very exhibitionist and equates “fluency” with superficial conversation in a foreign language. Her Japanese isn’t terrible but she has a strong foreign accent and there are numerous mistakes and unnatural expressions she uses. To be fair, she does admit that in more in depth discussions, but most of these videos give the impression that she’s a foreigner who has “amazing” fluent Japanese. Creators of such videos are also invariable caucasians, and it’s tiresome seeing the “amazement” at caucasians speaking foreign languages, when there are plenty of people of other races who are multilingual as a matter of course. I’m Caucasian (British) and speak 4 languages (3 fluently) and many people are “impressed” but I know many continental Europeans that can do the same, and most Indian people I know speak 4 or 5 languages which include various regional languages in India which are all largely different.
