So my friend Matt vs Japan is one of the best non-native speakers of Japanese in the United States. He has been perfecting his Japanese to fluency over years of total immersion into Japanese media, and his Japanese is at the point where Japanese people in the video games he plays are regularly shocked when he tells them he’s actually American, not Japanese. Recently I got a chance to hang out with Matt in New York City, where I took Matt around to some Japanese supermarkets and restaurants so we could put his Japanese to the test in the real world. And, hopefully, teach me a bit of Japanese as well. Remember to check out Matt’s YouTube channel for Part 2 of this video!
