No, Tyra speaks and can read japanese, I (Crystal) can read hiragana and katakana and can speak very little, and Darren doesn't have any japanese knowledge. On our first trip, Tyra and I could only read katakana and couldn't speak much, but everyone in Tokyo was very accommodating! 🙂
Im womdering I'm possibly moving back to Japan and Im not fluent in Japanese and I want to go explore and what not so even for living there should i take classes for Japanese? I mean i did in high school but that was 5 years ago lol
@AiLess – Well, if you're moving there, it would help alot to learn more of the language before you go for two reasons 1) the Japanese really appreciate any effort in speaking their language and 2) although you will learn Japanese by living there (by immersion), you end up learning more slang (foreigners are seen as cool and relaxed so they'll talk to you in a very casual way), but that might hurt your upward mobility. I learned online at iKnow.jp and it was very helpful!. 🙂 -T
