Cultural Note

Native English and 帰国子女
In Japan, people sometimes ask native or fluent English speakers to “say something in English,” partly out of curiosity about how natural English sounds. 帰国子女—Japanese children who have lived abroad and returned to Japan—may receive similar requests from classmates. Such requests are often friendly and playful, but some returnees may feel uncomfortable being asked to demonstrate their English ability simply for others' entertainment. Reactions vary greatly from person to person.
