What to do when a foreigner "doesn't understand Japanese"?
BLOG

In addition, since the subject is often omitted in spoken Japanese, it is not uncommon for people from countries that use languages that speak with a clear subject to encounter situations where they cannot keep up with understanding. And since many Japanese living in Japan have difficulty with English and other foreign languages, they tend to have difficulty communicating in languages other than Japanese.
If you are traveling in Japan and do not understand the language, but if you are going to live in Japan, a situation where you do not understand Japanese is inconvenient in every situation. For example, if you become ill and visit a hospital, you may not be able to receive proper treatment because you do not understand Japanese.
In many cases, the procedures to be completed at municipal offices are in difficult Japanese, which can be troublesome for foreigners who are not accustomed to living in Japan. Accompanying a foreigner to official procedures is one of the mandatory services provided by a registered support organization. If necessary, we will accompany the foreign worker to social security, tax, and government offices to assist with the procedures and documentation.
Of course, you should avoid intruding into a foreign worker's private life, but it is safer to have a person in charge of the company who can give advice when a foreign worker asks for support. If possible, it is advisable to set up a support system for learning Japanese at the place of employment.
It is difficult for anyone to start a new life in a new environment and in a new language. A language barrier is a barrier of ideas! Break through the barrier yourself and venture out into the new world!
