The laboratory has many French researchers, who can't speak Japanese. But, the session had been taken place in Japanese, due to inability of Japanese members' speaking English.
On the other day, a professor in the laboratory found that French researchers couldn't make themselves understood in Japanese.
Then, the processer suddenly said "Shall we restart to hold this session in English?"
I hear surroundings nodded.
I'm afraid that Japanese senior students can catch up with English conversation.
