This is mind boggling to me. Aren't the Japs supposed to be the smartest people in the world. Dude has been here for 15 years and still needs a translator.
With that being said, he's gunna sign with the Marlins and we will win it all.

He can speak it. He just doesn't want to because he knows it pisses you off.

The funny thing is that he knows a bunch of Spanish insults, so he can talk shite to all of that Latin American players.
I've always had a ton of respect for Yao because his English is phenomenal, and he didn't speak a word of it when he first came over.

Jews are #1, Asians are #2. I know, Israel is in Asia but you know what I mean.

at the fact that this bothers you.

He might just prefer to use a translator to make sure he doesn't say anything stupid.
Yu Darvish still uses a translator even though by all accounts I've heard from Dallas media he can speak English well enough.

Rich people pay people to speak the language for them.

If you moved to Japan around age 25 and had 15 years there, how much Japanese do you believe you would truly learn?
Would you become fluent?
Sure it's nice when other guys learn multiple languages, but I'm not sure it's so easy

actually, he can speak English, and read English and understand spoken English.
what he is not willing to do is to misunderstand a question, or speak English poorly, with an accent and be misunderstood and made fun of.
by having a translator, he is guaranteed to know the question's intent and to have his ideas expressed in language the audience can understand.

he can speak English. I bet it something to do with wanting the people from back home to understand him. He has tons of fans there, obviously

What is mind-boggling to ME is that people associate the ability to speak multiple languages with extreme intelligence. There is no correlation. I know a guy who is fluent in 3 languages yet he is one of the bigger dumbasses that I know….difference being that he is a dumbass in 3 languages instead of 1.

Maybe he's subconscious about his English or even his accent and would rather just have a translator even if he can speak it and read it.

It has nothing to do with his intelligence level and everything to do with him not having respect for our dialect and wanting to learn our language. Believe it or not, America is heavily looked down upon throughout much of the world. I would assume some eastern people wouldnt want to poison their mouth with our language. That's ok, I think the Japanese are savages so we're even. They make good food though.

He probably just doesn't give a shite. Pay a translator or actually learn it? Easy choice for him
