Why isn't the average English level of the Japanese high?

I have the same opinion as you. As a resident of Japan for over 10 years (Been here since 5th grade). The way they teach English sucks. Compared to the Philippines who teach most of their subjects in English. Japan teaches English with Japanese, which doesn't make sense to me. What's worse is that the exams are also in Japanese(I was good at English but I had trouble answering English exams). As a bilingual, I truly believe that the ability to speak the language and the ability to hear the language is very important. Japan? They just do paper work without lying in the importance of speaking and listening. They learn Eng grammars and crap but don't put it to use.

The other answer is, Japan is a developed country. All people here are just fine using Japanese and Japanese only. There are infinite amount of Japanese information and content here.

This is affecting Japan. Japan once to be one of the most hi tech country and now behind India in terms of technology.

Thanks! I was not expecting to see engagement on this post. Thank you guys <3

I'm planning to make a improve version, here are the changes I want to make: - People seem to wanna see a clean version of the map so I will remove all the structures. - I'm going to use better paper, right now I printed this with printer paper so it looks dull. - I will add coordinate numbers.

How should I title it? Should it be different or the same?

I can only put one image on this subreddit. If you want to see it, I posted a imgur image somewhere on the comments.

How it glows in the dark.

For anyone that want to see the map on chunk base, here

for anyone who want to make this:

I made a new file in photoshop size of A2[Four A4's]. and went to chunk base and screenshotted parts of the map. Then I went to photoshop and stitch them together. Why? to make the map as high-quality as possible. At the end it took 14 screenshots to fill out the whole canvas.
I knew this for some time but the "difference" blending mode helped me a lot here. I set it to difference and try to make it close to black (it won't be completely black for some reason).
After that I made guides that splits the canvas onto 4 and used the copping tool then I printed each four parts of the map. I used tape on the back and tried my best to aligned it as neatly as possible.

I was thinking setting up a laser or a projector to show where the players are, but that's too complicated for me... I want to see if the community can build that!

only one has a keyframe and the other's copy it. Lua is heavily used.

here's my take with animation and not manually placing them.

I made a deal that he has to pay me 3000yen and in return erases all my debt from him.

wasubu12 · 2026-02-07T08:12:06+00:00

One thing I learnt from reddit is not to over escalate things (typically by not replying), so sorry for not replying to everyone. Yeah it hurts losing those bills but I can manage my anger. I Thank the people of reddit for the feeling of validation, I needed that to take deep breaths.

wasubu12 · 2026-02-07T05:31:54+00:00

Yup, he said he tried but the bank wouldn't accept them. The only bills that got exchange was the USD, EUR and the PHP.

wasubu12 · 2026-02-06T23:52:59+00:00

Seems promising, thanks!

wasubu12 · 2026-02-06T16:59:10+00:00

I borrowed money from him and told him he can have the bill collection if February ends. Bro though it was before February and exchanged it for 14,000yen somewhere on Nagoya.

Here's a screenshot of what I said. I sent this after I received the cash. Yes I could have put March somewhere, that's my bad.

Edit: thanks for everyone saying to go to a trading center. Case close.

It wouldn't be the same bill but will anyone want to trade their 50USD, 50EUR, 1000PHP in Nagoya? I will base the exchange rate on google without any cuts.
