It took me six full years to finish my English course, and even if they aren't sister languages, English and Portuguese both were originated on Europe, so they do have some little points in common here and there.
Japanese and English has nothing in common and were originated in opposite points of the globe. It's well known that most Japanese people have a hard time learning English, and even more speaking English because the later has tons of phonemes that doesn't exist at all in the former.
You are judging a person's character based on her language skill because she is married with a native English speaker for two years... Ok then...

It's not like I wouldn't know all of that. First I'm pretty sure Mannie's English was pretty good since his native language is German. And it's very easy to learn English if you speak German. If Ayu's English was worse than now 5 years ago she and Mannie surely had a superficial relationship. I'm just pretty shocked about her English since my Japanese friends all were able to speak better German in just one year. And German is way harder than English. I'm not saying she is bad person because her English isn't that improved. But like I said, that means she isn't able to communicate with Tyson all that well either what makes me think they also have a superficial relationship. Furthermore it's common for interviews that you get the questions before hand because the management checks if they are ok. So she had to know the questions beforehand and wasn't able to provide a meaningful answer. Someone also said it's different to speak to someone you know or in public. Sure it is, but not after five years and speaking on a daily basis in English.
It just is the whole picture for me. If it was just that, I wouldn't care. But a lot of things lately fit together like a puzzle so that I get the feeling Ayu the queen of depth became a very superficial person during the last years. That's the feeling I get. If you don't, well be happy you don't. lol I tried a long time to defend her for everything against myself but it reached a point were I simply don't like the persona she presents us anymore.
