        <description><![CDATA[<p>Here is a discussion in Japanese between a polyglot Canadian (Steve Kaufman) and an American citizen (Matt). Both individuals are self-studied in Japanese using immersion-based approaches based or influenced by Stephen Krashen input hypothesis. The topic of the video is suppose be something like: For what reason/what purpose  are the study of English, Japanese? If you do not happen to understand Japanese you can use Youtube's automatic subtitles/close captions to automatically tranlate the audio into English or whatever other language youtube offers.</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;height&quot;:270,&quot;width&quot;:480,&quot;photoUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ZEVzHpAZDNM\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;videoID&quot;:&quot;ZEVzHpAZDNM&quot;,&quot;showRelated&quot;:false,&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZEVzHpAZDNM&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;英語や日本語は何のために勉強するのか?

<blockquote><div>
  <p>The only barrier to learning a language is memory. - The process of language learning is the process of forming memories. Nothing more, nothing less. If you understand that, and you understand how memories are formed, then you can make progress in a way you've never dreamed possible before.</p>
