That's… not English she's speaking there. I think it was something containing 「日本語をわかりますか」 but would have to check the video again.
- fabiensanglard 7y agoYea, I used youtube transcript because I don't speak japanese. Or english much either. If you find out what she meant plese tell me and i will fix the article.
- an_ko 7y agoI checked the video (https://youtu.be/tiq0OL8rzso?t=925 https://youtu.be/tiq0OL8rzso?t=925 at 15:25): She says "日本語を話しますか？", pronounced "Nihongo wo hanashimasuka?" meaning "Do you speak Japanese?", which she also translates for the audience in English immediately afterward. Edit: Typo.
