Most of them speak Japanese, and yet their various manners of speaking inevitably give away their national accent.<\/p>\r\n<p>For example, the Japanese spoken by people from China has a kind of Chinese ring to it. And when someone is from South Korea, this too comes across. Hearing them, I\u2019ll think, this person must be from South Korea.<\/p>\r\n<p>It\u2019s the same with Westerners. Ah, this person is a native French speaker. That one speaks German. I often feel this to be the case.<\/p>\r\n<p>On a related note, once, in Boston, I offered greetings to someone in English. A locally based Japanese person who overheard this exchange observed to me, \u201cYou\u2019re from Kansai, I see.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>It came as a shock. I\u2019d spoken in English, you see. And yet my Kansai background came across. Did my English have a Kansai accent? I admit it has a Japanese accent. And yet\u2026 that person could tell that I was from Kansai.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-700x700.jpg\" alt=\"\u30dc\u30b9\u30c8\u30f3\u8b1b\u6f14\u30a4\u30e9\u30b9\u30c8\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-245x245.jpg 245w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-490x490.jpg 490w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf-630x630.jpg 630w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/\u6240\u9577\u9023\u8f09\uff08\uff16\u6708\u5206\uff09\u63b2\u8f09\u7528\u753b\u50cf.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":851,"template":"","message_category":[23],"class_list":["post-855","messages","type-messages","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","message_category-serialization-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/messages\/855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/messages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/messages"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"message_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message_category?post=855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
