      It makes sense to me. Proficiency doesn’t take years, it takes an earnest effort and interest.

      Makes you wonder why it is considered racist to require English proficiency in the USA.

      being able to speak the language of the country you want to migrate to should be a basic requirement. This also helps to prevent economic leeches from coming there

      Learn English or leave USA 😡😤🤬👎🏻

      Learn Japanese or leave Japan 🌸🥰🌺👍🏻

      Who wouldn’t you want to learn the language of the country you’re permanently migrating to?

      A country with a birth rate nearly half the replacement rate probably shouldn’t be making immigration harder…

      I’m surprised with how culturally seclusive Japan is, that this wasn’t already a thing.

      At the same time, I don’t really think without a proper pathway, Japan is doing anything more than yelling at a cloud and blaming foreigners for problems. They’re losing population.

      Given the circumstances, they should know better just from looking at us in America.

      Seems like something that should have been a requirement already. If you cannot understand signs or emergency warnings in a country, you probably shouldn’t be there especially to live there long term.

      let’s make it harder for people to come here says country facing a population decline „crisis“

      Shouldn’t be a conservative opinions imo. If you want to move to another country and you arent seeking asylum, then the bare minimum should be speaking their language.

      Mostly like these rules, but ten years to get permanent residency is quite high. Five years is much more reasonable.

      We in Canada require proficiency in English or French for Permanent Residency as well. Not something unusual.

      Okay, people.

      If you are desperately in need of foreign workers and constantly complaining about your shrinking workforce and dying towns, and if foreigners have married into your culture or have been living and working—paying taxes into your dying country—then you really shouldn’t give a shit about the language.

      Most foreigners can get by with daily Japanese. You don’t need N1 to order McDonald’s and do construction. 60% of foreigners in Japan are in food service, construction, hospitality, child and elderly care and other jobs Japanese won’t do because the pay is shit.

      You don’t get to beg workers to come to Japan, pay them shit, and then treat them like shit, and expect them to keep coming.

      Japanese is one of the hardest languages in the world. Many Japanese people even get N1 questions wrong.

      And, finally, we all know this is cowtowing to anti-foreigner resentment. They are trying to make it as hard as possible to live in the country to look tough on immigration, but they still want poor SEA people and gullible Westerners to come, build their roads and take care of their aging population and raise their children in eikawas for shit pay for a few years and kick them out.

      Does it make sense now why this is bullshit?

      Imagine if USA did this… Would get butt fucked by the whole world. Double standards for the win.

      I lived there for awhile. It’s an extremely complex language with three variations of the alphabet and formal/informal ways of saying nearly everything. For everyone saying “why didn’t they do it already?” Lots of caretakers and ESL teachers marry Japanese citizens then wish to become permanent residents later on. They may not be completely fluent but can get by day to day just fine even doing paperwork and such. But you can be assured, whatever test they designed for this would be incredibly difficult for most people that are not Japanese language experts.

      The reality is their country like many right now are shifting to an anti-immigrant stance because the economy is not doing well and the elderly politicians don’t offer real solutions. They find a fake solution like “blame the foreigners.” Look at the patterns of history, scapegoats are usually the least powerful and an easy propaganda tool especially in times of economic hardship where the greediest at the top are typically to blame. I love Japan but the far-right party there has gained more seats recently so these new policies aren’t a surprise.

      I live in Japan and speak Japanese in my work every day. I have no problem with this in theory. Currently there is no easy way to evaluate „Japanese language proficiency“. There are a variety of tests/exams you can take but none of them evaluate speaking ability which is arguably the most important skill in my opinion. Implementing this requirement without having a clear path to test proficiency doesn’t make sense so I hope that if it gets implemented they clarify and don’t just leave it to random chance (like how 1-5 years visas are currently given out with zero transparency).

      Yeah if you live long term in a country, you should know the language enough that you can converse, read, and write in it proficiently.

    34. Acerhand on

      I don’t disagree with this at all.. as long as its N3 or so. Thats definitely enough for people to get by and understand culture enough without being unreasonable
