"I Admire Malaysia" - Japanese Teacher Impresses by Conversing Fluently in Malay During Interview with Japanese Individual
In a recent viral video circulating online, @Januarhaikal shares a clip featuring a Japanese man interviewing a Japanese woman, delving into her thoughts on Malaysia.
Throughout the video, the man poses several inquiries to the woman regarding her sentiments toward Malaysia. One of his initial questions is, "Do you like Malaysia?" to which the woman responds enthusiastically, declaring, "I love Malaysia!"
What particularly captivated the attention of netizens and rendered the interview intriguing was the seamless transition into conversing in Malay by both individuals.
The woman recounts her past visit to Malaysia, where she served as an assistant to a Japanese teacher at a high school.
When queried about her accommodation during her tenure in Malaysia, she reveals staying in Dungun, Terengganu.
Reflecting on her seven-month stay in Malaysia, she fondly recalls the warmth and hospitality extended to her by numerous individuals, both teachers and students, who soon felt like family. She expresses her deep affection for them and emphasizes the welcoming atmosphere she encountered.
Additionally, the woman recollects the challenge of familiarizing herself with the Terengganu dialect during her time in Malaysia. Despite her efforts to grasp it, she admits to facing difficulties in communication with the locals, managing only a limited proficiency in the dialect.
Netizens flooded the comment section, expressing admiration for the woman's fluency in Malay.
"Mastering Bahasa Malaysia may not be easy, but the Japanese language poses even greater challenges."
"I'm amazed by her stay in Dungun. Based on her appearance, she could easily pass for a local Malay."
"She speaks as though she's a native. Her fluency surpasses that of many locals here."
