“People around the world know they need language skills to perform their increasingly communication-based, international-oriented jobs. For most Japanese, though, using English at work or in life remains a romantic daydream, too tough to make real…

Countries with the best language ability will prosper most as globalization seeps more fully into everyday life. Regardless of how different Japanese may be linguistically from other languages, waiting for some magic computer translation program to solve all the problems is sheer fantasy.”
