Five now. Good grief!


I'm sad; my son loves Lego, but I can't stand watching comedies in Japanese, and he won't watch them in English. It'll also be at least a year later release in Japan, so it'll be me giggling at the TV when it's running in English, and my son asking me to explain all the jokes. :lol

He speaks Japanese like any other Japanese kid. He speaks halting English when he's interacting with my USA family. He's not fond of reading subtitles; he'd rather pay attention to visuals than read kanji.

The language problem is an ongoing one. I appreciate your concern. It was one of the reasons we attempted to relocate to California in 2012. Now we're looking at studying abroad while staying with my USA family.

True story: My daughter went to one of the minimall nail care places, and the Vietnamese woman doing the manicure was surprised to hear me translating to Japanese for my daughter. "Oh, you translating for her? She no speak English?" I answered yes, and then, no exaggeration, the nail care professional launches into, "Dass okay, chee 'peak i' fahn no prollem, Ah moo' here when I pourteen too, I no 'peak enny English when Ah moo here. Chee pick i' up, no prollem, don' choo worry."

To be honest,  I freaked the fuck out. To my wife, I said, "HONEY, you are moving the family here IMMEDIATELY. Jesus, it may already be too late!" Instead, on the heels of that my wife's dad had serious health problems, and I ended up moving back to Japan so I could help with that. English is an ongoing problem that we're still discussing as recently as last night.

Serious question: You don't speak English primarily at home? I figured most dual-citizen families would speak "the native tongue" in-home, but the "formal language" out of the house?

I have several friends who have done that; my NZ friend in Tokyo has raised his kids that way, but also enrolled them in an English language daycare in their earliest times; they benefited from constant immersion. Another second-generation Japanese/American friend in Chicago was resentful that his parents insisted on Japanese at home. Now as an adult, he's grateful that they were strict that way, but he loathed them at the time.

I took the "easy way out" and learned Japanese mainly to keep up with my children, rather than forcing them to learn my language. It ended up helping in the workplace as well, of course. Over a decade in a Japanese office, it was useful to speak the language.

My kids have learned English in school the same way we all learned Spanish or French in school: resentfully and without enthusiasm. My Japanese is good enough that they don't feel hampered in communication with me. They don't see the need for it until they're around my USA family. I can see it "click" in their heads -- Oh, got it. Here's where it would be useful. But that's only a couple weeks out of the year.

But seriously. Tell them learning English will help them if they travel. English is the "Galactic Basic" (or whatever appropriate movie here) of most of the world. Say, like if they went to Norway (why would they, but let's ignore that). Do they think talking to the hotel counter in Japanese would work? Or would broken (though if they study, less than broken. Maybe okay/great!) English be faster for them?

Yes. But you get them to care. Going to the US once a year isn't the way to do that. You get them to watch shows, games, talk to you, etc. in that language and get them engaged/interested in it. Chronovore seems to have kids that see very little use for it because they only head out once a year. If he traveled to like... China or Korea or somewhere Japanese wouldn't be the primary language, having English as a fall-back would help them tremendously and also show why he's trying to get them to learn it in an "A-ha" moment.

What I need to do is just  start speaking more English with them directly. And let them answer in broken English, only adjusting or correcting where critical. This will give them more confidence and enthusiasm for answering in English.

Saw it this weekend with the Wife and Kids. It was a fun time, really quite funny and well done. My only complaints were that Zach G's Joker is "meh" why not just have Mark Hamill? Also it falls into the same trap as Dr. Strange in that the villains they take on in this movie are all so massive, it's difficult to see how they could follow it up.

He had said years and years ago that The Killing Joke was always his one exception if they ever got around to it.

I assume for Arkham Knight they just backed a dumptruck full of money up to his house. Apparently he did it again for Justice League Action too.

I thought Troy Baker did a good version of it in Arkham Origins. I actually liked The Joker a lot more in that one than the others. But the whole thing was better written too though so...

I'm not sure I mind it being ripped off of Hamill's like some other people seemed to hate it for. I mean, the original time he did it (Origins) he's supposed to be playing the same Joker just younger.

And I thought he did a lot better swapping between moods, Hamill's earlier version was more subtle in making you wonder what was intentional/sane/good times/anger/etc. and Baker followed that versus the wilder version Hamill had moved into.
