My experience of working in a tech company in Japan is that most engineers are not Japanese, they are mostly Chinese, Indian, other Asian countries, a few Westerners and then Japanese. Those recommendations are still relevant in this context. I would add, use short sentences. When you are learning a language, long sentences are really hard. It saturates your "guess-understanding" memory buffer.

Extremly useful insights! They apply to other languages as well.
