Is Japanese language illogical comparing to English?

My sister is a linguist doctor.

When we had dinner together today at Grand Prince Hotel in Tokyo, we discussed whether Japanese is illogical comparing to English.

As a theatre director studying Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and modern dramatists, I think English language is also quite illogical.

Actors speak often very illogically.

However, intellectual people such as writers, teachers, directors speak and write logically indeed; they have been educated how to develop their thoughts logically.

Human beings are illogical.

Whether it is either in Japanese or English, we need to train ourselves to speak and write logically, so that we can literally communicate what we think.

Try to speak logically.

…Yes, it’s difficult.

But when you at least try to think and speak logically, you will be doing it.

Just like muscle training; try a little further, it will develop. Try not at all, no development.
