How did alan Know Japanese?
 

She's Chinese, so how did she know Japanese?

She had to learn Japanese before she made her Japanese debut. :P

you learn through classes and teachers....

her Japanese is still a bit rusty, so she still have Japanese classes~

Asian lingual osmosis. :yes

^ wth is that! XD

I guess she had to learn it from scratch; same with Leah Dizon and Tohoshinki. I respect them so much for taking up a totally new language!

glad theres no individual threads asking that about all the non-jpn artists like BoA, etc :laugh

she know japanese cuz she learned it :D

It's tricky, but I go with this too.

^ ha :laugh

yeah, she just had a teacher and some classes.

She learned it...
definitely

Everyone Tibetan can speak Japanese.

^hee? are you sure?

You mean every Asian?

well, sorry...geeeeeeeee
i just thought she had some close friend or relative teaching her japanese?...

No, just everyone Tibetan.

Just like how everyone in Africa can read Swedish.

^
LOL yeh...


It's very easy to pick up a language when you're able to speak it with natives everyday. I also assume she's very motivated to learn. Thus she shouldn't have a hard time picking it up. Her accent still shows through though, even for a non japanese speaker. LOL

Isn't japanese Tibet's main language? o.o

Nope! Tibetans have a different language! :laugh It's kind of similar to Arabic. :P

You're mistaken...that language in the photo is English.

Oh and I forgot that it was just Tibet that spoke Japanese. T_T

Is this right? .o.

Now that one is French. :\

Ok ok... That's actually Tibetan. :\ She spoke Chinese before she learned Japanese.

Poor HONEY looks confused, XD

Anyway, jokes aside, alan is pretty awesome to pick up a brand new language... same for Leah Dizon and DBSK!

Tibetan is not like Arabic, Tibetan languages are part of the Sino-Tibetan family which Chinese languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghaiese, Wu...) are also a part of. Arabic is a semitic language like Hebrew and many languages of northern Africa.

Nope! You are wrong! Tibetan speake japansese! This is the only possible way alan can know the language!

I love linguists. ^______^

huh? so Tibetan speak japanese?

^I think they were joking.

Alan most likelly did an test for Avex China and started learning Japanese in order to debut over there, pretty much like BoA...

i don't know but she is brave and i love her

I still remember her japanese was SO BAD in the first talk she did about her new single, I think she learnt her speech by memory that time.. but she has improved a lot!

Yes, they are joking, Tibetans do not speak Japanese, that is a totally different langugue.

according to a documentary she learn japanese in a japanese language school and had to change schools a number of time cos her progress is v slow

Haha, gullible people are funny XD.

Nah, they were just messing with you. I mean, about the French part. Obviously everyone in Asia speaks Japanese.

ah! did you watch the documentary that I translated?

Lol I love the sarcasm in this thread :laugh

Yup i saw it in AI. thanks for ur hard work <3
i cried when i see the documentary...alan really work so hard to get to where she is..
