| When is Ichiro Suzuki going to learn English? Posted by diddydirtyAubie on 7/24 at 11:25 am I'm sick of seeing this guy use a translator to speak for him. He's been playing baseball in the U.S. for almost 30% of his life. I just think it's pathetic. He must have lived a very isolated life in Seattle since only 1% of the population is Japanese.

| I've seen videos of him doing some interviews in English, but I don't think he's comfortable speaking it in front of large crowds. Reply • Back to Top |

| He speaks English. Reply • Back to Top |
| Japanese people are very bad at English. Koreans as well Reply • Back to Top |
| It is very difficult to learn a new language as an adult. Maybe he also is totally indifferent about learning English. Also, his English may be poor and he may be embarrassed to give an interview with horrible grammar and pronounciation. Reply • Back to Top |

| He knows it but uses a translator to avoid many more interviews that he would have to do if he didn't use the translator. Eta....he can't stand doing interviews. This post was edited on 7/24 at 11:33 am Reply • Back to Top |

| $129,131,483 in career earnings. He really doesn't need to learn a damn thing. But like everyone said, he can speak English. Reply • Back to Top |
He probably knows the language perfectly...just chooses to not speak it.  Reply • Back to Top |
