Foreign residents stranded abroad by Japan's coronavirus controls

5月19日

COVID-19 has sparked governments worldwide to strengthen border control measures to curb the spread. Japan's entry ban has affected foreigners legally residing in Japan who are now unable to return home or worry that leaving will jeopardize their future.

Japan is the only Group of Seven member denying entry to long-term and permanent residents, and has set no clear criteria for their return.

Russia's Navalny poisoned with Novichok - German government

9月2日

What about people with articulation disorders? Shouldn’t they be given an equal opportunity to express themselves and be understood? What about people who stutter? Who can speak their own language perfectly? Do we need to?

294

Is there really one pattern of communication and the message can be conveyed using just one specific phrase, pattern or form of communication? Or are languages just communication tools that are supposed to bring people of different backgrounds closer?

237

Many foreigners in Japan have been faced with this challenge but have also been viewed as not capable of fully understanding Japanese because it is likely too difficult for them to learn. Who is creating this language barrier?

286

I’ve never considered myself a good public speaker. It may be quite simple but requires practice. And in certain situations, putting your feelings and thoughts into words may be a huge challenge. Even when you use the words you’re familiar with.

254

By this logic, any Japanese person who is learning a foreign language shouldn’t even try. Shouldn’t use it for work or better, shouldn’t go abroad or work in a non-Japanese environment. And if they do, it’s okay to belittle, bully them or refuse to get into a conversation.

345

What does it mean to speak a language perfectly? Many people have commented on the recent infamous presser with some who were suggesting that a foreigner who doesn’t speak smoothly shouldn’t even be there Food for thought for Japanese people using/learning a foreign language
