Yes. Just a guess, but I believe most people who live in the country of Japan speak Japanese. And I believe there are individuals - both from Japan and not - in other parts of the world who also speak that language.

I can speak conversational Japanese.
I am an English teacher in Koriyama, Japan. I've been in Japan for over 2 years. It is a hard language to learn but I am trying.
I am conversational but far from being fluent.

Nope. I travel all over the world and it's just like TV...everyone speaks English. Even when they pretend to speak another language, they are just playing a game with you; they really speak English.
If you are in Japan, just walk around chanting "etchy". (sounds like ichy with a soft "e" sound at the beginning instead) Say it loud and proud. One sylable with each step as you walk down the street...

"Japanese is spoken by over 127 million people, mainly in Japan, but also by Japanese emigrant communities around the world."

Depends on how sophisticated the topic is, but I can speak it up to high school level, write and read as well.
