The practical communication language on the ship is English. For example, Course Discussion, one of core activities, will be held completely in English. It includes lecture and discussion. Eerybody is supposed to dedicate him/herself to the activity at their best to make it better.

OPYs show their opinion voluntarily and eagerly as if it is nothing but usual, while JPYs find it quite difficult to follow suit as if they have never done it before. OPYs would expect us to do the same as they do. That is why OPYs complain about our less contribution as Koishi said in SWY18 Reporting Session on June 18 2006 at Tokyo.

We Japanese are educated neither to speak up voluntarily nor to use English practically (but rather sit silent?). We just need practice of this challenge, as the proverb says. Additionally, we need to get used to the World Standard attitude toward discussion, which is you are expected to show your best at discussion.
