Hello. I'm Legomura.
Recently, I heard from my friends
"The people who speak Japanese are almost nerd now"
Is it true? We examined it.
I'm in Times square, NY.
Today's program is this.
"I'm looking for people who can speak Japanese".
I will find those people and interview.
I wonder how many people can speak Japanese.
And I heard "people who study Japanese are almost nerd".
I want to know whether they are really nerd or not.
Let's confirming the method.
At first, we will find people who can speak Japanese.
Second, We will have a basic conversation in Japanese.
Third, we will set easy reading questions.
Next is difficult questions.They are words about "Manga" and "Anime".
If someone knows it, we will ask "Are you nerd?"
Let's start!
It is not easy.
30 minutes later

Now that things have come to this, I will pay my trump card.
