Imura’s Tricks for Overcoming the Language Barrier while Coaching in China

China’s Synchronised Swimming Team won 2 Silver Medals during the newly finished 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While celebrating the achievement of the Chinese team, we shall give our sincere gratitude to Coach Masayo Imura, who coached China’s team twice and improved the team a great deal. Imura didn’t know much Chinese. How did she overcome the language barrier then? This short clip is from the documentary “Imura’s Interpretation of Water Ballet 井村雅代的花样生活“ and you may check the complete version of the documentary at
