Currently Elite is streaming Minecraft on Twitch because Youtube Asia is being shitty for some streams. Roboco and Miko have to cancel their stream while I got endless buffering from Reine's earlier.

And she is wrapping up soon.

Whats the deal with the west Taiwan vax? Too expensive, less effective, yet being force fed to third world like a bargaining chip so much that doctors actively refuse it and would rather wait for astra or Pfizer even if its being blocked by corrupt bureaucracy

If West Taiwan vax is truly good, why the hell all rich West Taiwan take advantage of their dual citizenship and travel to Canada or US for vaccine again? Why they did not embrace “Sino pride” and use their own products?

the answer is simple, they have brain.

English is the easiest language to learn and be adequate with. The problem is when you try to sound excellent

I agree, nailing down the pronunciation can be quite hard if you haven't started in a very young age. Most native speakers I converse with can understand me with no problem, but I will never fool anyone into thinking that I'm a native speaker, to put it lightly.

You are giving English speakers too much credit.
English learning programs, by and large are these outdated "Where is Paul? oh he's lost at the airport" type of examples with minnimal to no actual participation. Even if by miracle students manage to learn a degree of competency, the intrinsic nuances of English (words are not pronounced as they are written, irregular clauses make no sense, tense conjugation is all duct-taped) show up.
Add that to the fact that retards on the internet do not follow any of the traditional rules of English: "Ppl on the line at the local Wawa's be like ____" "pog!" "pogchamp" "I low-key lowkey the lowkey on my guitar and it sounds low-key lowkeish", etc.

While in public schools the language teaching system is usually quite bad (all Hologirls had English in school and the only thing they can use is some basic vocabulary - but with proper tutoring and practice they can make great progress I'm sure), specialized language schools (and good tutors) implement more varied methods, which will make you read, listen to and converse in the target language. I remember attending English courses 30+ ago, when schools in my country were changing from Russian to English, and it was like you said. Last year I signed up to a local language school to get my German up from Dummkopf to conversational level and there were games, quizzes, at least 1/3 of the course was conversation between participants, under the guidance of the teacher. They do the same for English courses and they also have English classes for little children, with songs and the like - my point is that a lot of language teaching programs are bad, but there are also excellent ones that will actually teach you something. You only need to find them, pay for them and be dedicated enough to participate.
Regarding the mastery of the language - for most people it will take years to get all the nuances and intricacies right. Every language is easy and logical until it suddenly stops being like that and you have to start to listen/read/speak yourself and figure stuff out. With how widespread English is, there will be groups using it differenly/incorrectly and that's... normal, as language is a constantly changing thing.

strictly converse with Gura in slowed-down simple Japanese and actually force Gura into deciphering it

It would be a good learning experience, but most likely not a very entertaining one for most people. I would watch every second of it though.

Looking through the comments on some of Noel's recent duolingo vids, and there are a few JPs who seem a little peeved by the English-learning streams. I wonder if we're going to see more visible tension like what happened over on Marine's stream.

I hope this is only a very small percentage of the JP viewers, which won't scare Japanese talents off from learning and using English - but stupid fans have their way of hurting the talents in a non-direct way unfortunately.

Wanna add to language learning discussion:
You want to factor in how widespread, accessible and developed study materials for English language are.
It is not the easiest language. But it is the easiest to learn.
I have nightmares remembering how to explain /θ/ and /ð/ sounds. My language doesn't have them.

The pervasiveness of the English language in available/accessible media outside of the western sphere is also something that doesn't get enough credit in giving a lot of ESLs their head-start in learning the language. When even some of the biggest hits on local radio are English songs and local TV programming along with its ads are also in English, people get indirectly trained to know/learn how certain words/sentences are supposed to be pronounced/said. It's the perfect supplement to whatever English language lessons kids/young adults may be learning as part of their school curriculum.

I'm surprised this local hasn't commented on the fact that the Tomoshika troll train is still ongoing. It is Christmas in Florida. . . given the Meth and Alzheimer's down there, it isn't entirely incorrect. Still, of all the JP VTubers I've watched. . . is she really this out of the loop or is it just the way she sounds that makes it seem so absurd. I'm not a longtime Candle or VOMS follower.

Edit: I have watched a bit more. . . There is no way this is completely serious. Girl is just based and awesome.
