My partner is Japanese and I'm a native English person. We live in a small Northern town in England and she loves how random people talk to each other in the park or on the street. She says that the Japanese pretend to be nice or polite but it makes them feel exhausted whereas the British are more genuine and authentic which she loves.
From my point of view (Canadian) , British food is really cheap, and good quality, but then I like “white” bland food. Cheese, meat , bread etc . I don’t get why people think British food is bad. I think it’s too bland for Asians maybe that’s it.
I’m curious, does anyone know any Japanese people who have a northern Uk accent or any other strong UK accent besides standard English/London. I feel like there simply must be statistically but I’ve never come across anything online about this.
My daughter is half Japanese and she has quite a thick Lancashire accent. The cool thing about it tho she can switch from thick Lancashire to a thick Kyushu accent in a blink of an eye. It’s quite funny really especially when it confuses people.
