Hi.

In Japan, people in Kanto area don’t understand what people in Tohoku area say.
When I worked as a pharmacist, we had a patient who was from Tohoku area, and all of my fellow workers didn’t understand what she was saying at all.
Does this happen when English people speak to an Australian people?


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
