What is that country though? I googled it but nothing came up.

because youre so smart and intelligent that us normalfags are like trash from your perspective

>>9458216
>especially when it is about other languages.
Because Japan even now is a hyper isolationist country that only tries to teach English because it's one of the more common languages in the world and thus have more business opportunities.
which they fail at because English education in Japan is fucking awful.
Doesn't help they're stuck trying to teach themselves five different alphabets

Western chuubas are pretty stupid too. People make fun of Mumei but she's about as smart as most western indies. It's just because they're women.

>>9458216
>can't recognize the fucking UK flag,
Isn't she talking about the highlighted one?

>>9458216
>suckmydick
Based british japer

Why force everyone to learn English anyway? You all have it easy because allies win WW2 if axis the one who win WW2 you'll be speaking German or Japanese as second languages right now.

>>9458580
yeah, OP is the real retard you see... he likes Nene after all, and fans reflects thei oshi

>>9458580
Wow I didn't realize Trinidad and Tobago has internet, much less be watching Japanese vtuber.

nop, it makes it seem that way, but in the situation she is talking about the UK

>>9458216
This is bait and you’re a fucking moron.
Japan is one of the most highly isolated nations on Earth. Almost every country requires some level of English for good jobs, but it’s just not necessary in Japan.

As for Geography, I could show you some flags from Asia or South America or the Middle East that you probably didn’t even know existed.

>>9458753
It is not about learning english, it is about learning another language or showing the minimum of interest in another culture outside their own. im just a ESL btw

>>9458216
Entertainment in general and vtubing specifically doesn't really attract "smart" people in the first place. Not saying they don't exist, but they're so rare that being recognized as a "smart" chuuba is almost a character trait in itself. Actual intelligent people mostly gravitate towards other professions, and the people who want to be entertainers (of which vtubing, due to its low barrier of entry, is basically bottom of the barrel -tier) do it for other reasons (mostly has to do with wanting attention, etc.)

Many of the girls also have comparatively low formal schooling (again, because it's not necessary for vtubing, and/or vtubing is an escape because they can't get better "real" jobs anyways with their low education level).
Also remember that even if they aren't just genuinely dumb, at least some are also "playing dumber" than they probably really are. Ahos and bakas are a popular anime girl character type, and for good reasons, it just werks (is an easy source of comedy, is "cute", gets simps to go "d'aww" and throw money at you).

As for your question about foreign language ability specifically (the discussion if that's really a sign of "intelligence" nonwithstanding), well that's a general Japan problem, not just vtubers (hell, the average vtuber probably even has better english ability than the average random jap on the street, even if just because they have to deal with EOPs shitting up their chats etc.). Japans english teaching is famously bad and so ineffective, you'd have to think it's almost by design. Unless the person is actually interested in western things and motivated to self-study, he/she will not come out of 12+ years of school with any conversational english ability, and for most people they're fine with that, because learning english is mendokusai and they don't really need it in their day-to-day life anyway, they're a rich first-world country where the average person can afford to only speak their domestic language and never feel any disadvantages for it.

Haaahhh I fucking love this shit, I wish chat didn't tell her so quickly that it's a vulgar expression

>>9459093
I am satisfied with this answer, thank you anon, I learned a lot. the remaining retards don't need to comment anymore, thanks for the cooperation

>>9458293
Trinidad and Tobago if anyone is actually interested and doesn't know.

>>9459093
Intelligent vtubers are like an oasis, that's why I watch Kaneko Lumi, her intelligence actually intimidates me.

>>9459080
Tbh nips are more interested in learning Korean or Chinese. 99% of the poblation doesnt go overseas in holidays, They prefeer spending it in their country and will never look for a job in another country.

I love dumb chuubas.

i miss the time when she was one of the most popular ones, so many clippers. nowadays nobody translates anything from her anymore, sad

>>9458216
>why 90% of them can't speak even the minimum of another idiom
ask me how I know you are from europe, now the point I am going to make is not something retarded as "only people from europe speak multiple languages lol", no what I want you you to realize is that when learning a second language how much the language is similar to your mother language makes the process 100 times easier, most people in europe speak their mother language and english, for example, because is most likely they are way more similar languages than japnaese and any other language, now just look at how many people outside of china or japan learn these languages well enough to land a high skilled job there and you will see what I mean.
TLDR: Its easy to talk mad shit when you target language is similar to your mother language

>>9458293
The Real USA.

>>9462341
wrong my nekko friend, veryyy wrong. i am actually Brazilian

>>9462973
Your language is European, retarded macaco, his point standa.

>>9463086
yes, our two languages originate from Latin, so? I denied his deduction, thats all

and portuguese is nothing like english, nothing

>>9463326
nta but probably why you're so far below us in the global food chain

>>9463326
>nothing like english
and how close it is to japanese? my point is still applies, learning english is easier for you than learning japanese, you will most likely find way more people who can speak english and portuguese than portuguese and japanese
I personally believe the difficulty of a japanese person learning english is almost the same of someone not japanese trying to learn japanese, which is very hard

>>9463326
English isn't a Romance language. It's a Germanic language. However, many root words and several of English's components such as grammar and conjugation are heavily influenced by Latin.

HoloEN made a bunch of NijiEN clippers quit, you can find a lot of channels that stopped activity 12-8 months ago. Her silly stories are funny and I think people could appreciate them like when she got a homeless man in trouble for wearing her middle school gym clothes.
EN vers of part of that clip

>>9465699
By NijiEN I mean JP -> EN clippers
Funnily enough, NijiEN branch made some come back or change their format to feature general Nijisanji news.

>>9462341
Then why do so many people from Finland and India speak English?

>>9458216
>purposely picks the slutty vtubers to screenshot
I see what you did there. Saku and Polka exist only for breeding there is no other reason to keep them around. There are smart jp chuubas like Botan though.

>>9458216
Sasaki is smart.

>>9458293
Tripadvisor and Trivago

>>9466891
India was literally colonized by England, Finland is allergic to ruskies so by default if they want to join West they learn English

While Japan can just chill on their island, which they actually did for ~200 years

>>9463326
simply by sharing subject/verb/object order portugese is monumentally easier to learn and understand for an english speaker than japanese, and vice versa

not even remotely comparable

>>9458753
Language of trade

That is, if you meet someone who speaks a different language from you, chances are you both speak english as a second language as well

>>9458293
Meme flag from /pol/

>>9458753
English basics are really easy. If I have to speak with some random uneducated Nepalese or other Hungarian at my factory, I just forego grammar and spit out basic words. Even 60 years old gypsy which lived almost all of his life in communist Romania gets the message.

>>9462341
I am slavic, how is my language similar to english?
I am in defense of the girls, they just dont need it, not all parts of the world have to be the same (education/social/cultural standards), if they dont need it, they dont need it simple as that
But your point is wrong for the most part

>>9462341
I'm Asian. English's not a hard language to learn, especially when you can memorize thousands of chicken scratch scribbles.

Reminder that Honhima is so fucking retarded that she thought the sun and moon was the same celestial body...

>>9458216
Ngl anon my myself don't even know many of country flag, some of them is just a strip with different color and i ain't want to focus on needed to remember all that shit

>>9458216
>hahah, what a dumb bitch not knowing the flag of Trinidad and Tobago

>>9458216

>>9458293
HAHAHAHA AMERICANS CANT RECOGNISE THIS COUNTRY

>>9477602
Watch the video, she's asking about the UK.
