I've been doing the same thing for over a decade in Japan. Japanese just can not learn the language. How about over there? And what's the hardest thing to teach?

So they can hold a decent conversation?

Over here, people get so hung up on structure and fear of making a mistake that they don't take a chance. The flip side are those who see a foreign person and think it's our duty to let them practice their English. I'm fluent in Japanese, so I give them an earful. (lol)

How are you students, and the population in general, about conversing in English?
