I lived in Japan 7 years. I learned to speak Japanese good enough to moonlight first as a bartender and later as a cab driver, and finally as a teacher of English to newly hired Japanese employees. I found learning Japanese to be fairly easy (it can be a difficult language), and it made it easy and fun to be a gaijin (foreigner). Maybe Ohtani could learn some English, the way Ichiro Suzuki did, with all of millions of dollars.
