It is kind of weird that you'll even hear about English people who spend a long time in Japan doing this still. I'm a fully native English speaker, and can understand how to turn that off to speak Japanese (although I don't really do it a lot). It is rather straight forward, sounds better, and makes it easier in some ways. I just mimick the way I hear the Japanese speak, like I'd switch for Spanish in highschool Spanish class. But I suppose a lot of people simply aren't good at doing this. It still bewilders me how some can hear a foreign name or word even be pronounced and not know how to do it still (of course excluding times when there is a special sound not available in their language).
