One-Point Japanese Lesson--Funny Pronunciation Story ”Baka”
Japanese and English have different sounds.
So, when Japanese people try to pronounce English words,
it doesn't always come out right. (Opposite is
true with English speakers of Japanese...Lol)
At the end of the video is the story of a fellow American
I once met at a convenience store in Japan.
baka=stupid, idiot, fool, bonehead ばか

Congrats on 100 subs sensei
Thank You Omar!! You helped me to get this far!! Very much appreciated!! SUPER weekend!!
I don't think we have this concept in my culture. It's such an insignificant cost no one would care about it
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Ms. Jeffrey. May seem insignificant, but, little by little, over time, those little charges might add up if enough people are using outlets. I do notice more businesses blocking access. Makes it more difficult to juice up my tablet computer. Really need to search around sometimes. Nevertheless, I'm happy I can get away with it. Where are you watching from? Have a relaxing weekend!!
@@Minister-ll4di Canada! Are you in Japan?
@MsJeffreyF Yes!! I've been here (in Japan) 26 years... I have friends in Ottawa...Thanks for letting me know your country. Very helpful to me in making content!!
congrats on the many views
Thank You Rat-San!! Pays to be Kinki!!

Glad you liked it!! I was actually planning to do a totally different video, then looked at my shirt....Save the other for a different day... Thanks for watching!!
Hello
Hello Huey!! Thank you for joining on the channel. Much appreciated!!
You Maga folks don’t seem to realize that your hate and ignorance is costing you another election and it’s also not very Christian
Make America Great Again!! Say it loud!! Say it proud!!! Are you missing that Kamala, Walz, Biden never give press conferences (or unscripted ones)? Are you missing that both Kamala and Walz are enablers and supporters of groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa who want to burn America down? Are you missing that Trump actually had a record of doing good things, since 2016, all while being impeached, harassed by and shot at by the left and other bad actors? How is your savings? Health care? Money for every day necessities? Feel safe walking around town? BTW, are you getting money from George Soros to write this post? If you like being a sheep and seeing America go down the toilet, vote Harris / Walz. Could you actually trust Kamala with the nuclear codes, The Football? Final note: Look at a Harris / Walz puppet show rally and count how many American flags you see...'nuff said....MAGA!! p.s. Nothing Un-Christian about supporting your country against evil, power hungry entities who would love nothing other than to turn U.S. into Orwellian mess. MAGA!!
HA HA HA. ANOTHER PSYCHO MINISTER. BETTER GET WITH JESUS AFTER NOVEMBER AND ASK WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
Psycho...Mea Culpa...Mea Culpa... Let's talk after November and see who's freaking out...May the best ”Him Her It” win...Lol...Thanks for watching....
Beautiful bay!
Yes!! I chose the perfect day to come cruising down here!! ”It doesn't get any better than this!!”
gorgeous place, glad you got to enjoy it while its not crowded chao chao chao
Beautiful country!! Need to visit someday....Put this one on your ”bucket list.”
thank you for the lesson
My pleasure!! Take it easy, Ratpilk!!
LOL
nice lesson perfect timing i have a dentist appointment soon haha
Good Luck!! I used to dread going to the dentist because of a major fear of pain. (I can be a wimp sometimes. ) Having the right team is so important!! p.s. You ended your sentence with ”haha.” ”Tooth,” in Japanese, is ”ha.” Lol
@@Minister-ll4di LOL I didnt know that
😀🪥
Thanks for watching, Omar!!
thank you so much minister, im happy you decided to do this, i love the cicada sounds and gorgeous scenery!
Thank you very much Ratpilk (...Your real name?). Sometimes, certain things suggest that it's time to take it down a couple notches. This was one of those times. Thanks again for your kind feedback. I'm not totally out of the political humor field, but will bring a better mixture for everyone. BTW, are you from The States? p.s. Talking over a bunch of crazy cicadas can be a challenge. Tough to find an area where they aren't around during the summer. Lol
You’re great just the way you are Minister!
Doomo Doomo Docomo. I had a couple credible messages from long time followers of the channel. After reviewing this past month's posts, I could see it was a little overloaded with political posts. You ever been in a room with someone who doesn't know when to bring the engine down to ”idle” once in a while? I don't want to be that person. Not out of the political humor arena, but will bring a better mix for my loyal followers. Just a little ”wake up call.” God Bless and Keep Dreamin', Baby!!
Minister, i've been watching you videos ever since you started uploading. I don't mind your kamala and joe biden jokes and political videos at all but sometimes I find myself missing the old minister you know? please do some of your regular videos too i really enjoyed the ones where you told us stories and fun facts about japan and how life is there please do not stop making them alongside your regular videos, thank you minister.
Thank you very much for your honest comment. Message taken to heart. Guess I have been caught up in the heat of a very important time. More positive vibes on the way.
You Maga folks don’t seem to realize that your hate and ignorance is costing you another election and it’s also not very Christian
Hell yeah man, rock that thing :). hondas will serve you a lifetime with very little maintenance and problems. My 2011 honda Fit sport is at 199,516 miles right now, and the only real problem I've had with it was an intermediate misfire caused by one of the old original coil plugs cracking. Other than that, it's just been oil changes and normal routine maintenance, and the thing still happily revs to 7000rpm with zero problems 🙂
Wow!! 200,000 miles (not kilometers like we use in Japan...) That's hardcore!! Need to have some sort of celebration when it hits that mark.....Correct me if I'm wrong here, but, when I was back in Honolulu, the most popular model of car to steal was a.......Honda!! What is the new #1 car to steal these days?? Asking for a friend.... Thanks for this SUPER story about a WONDERFUL car, Diego. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!
@@Minister-ll4di thanks, you too :)
I miss my Toyota Celsior, looks like you’re in Japan, you live there or just visiting?
Japanese cars are excellent!! Toyota is always a good choice... Yes, I have lived in Japan since 1998 and love it here...By the way, other cars I have had include: Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Daihatsu and my present Honda...I have never had a Nissan and never plan to buy one because of the situation with Carlos Ghosn several years ago.... Thanks again for your question and hope your weekend is going well!!
@@Minister-ll4diYou’re welcome, I plan on visiting, crazy I am Japanese but never been to Japan, true dream of mine to visit and also learn the language.
Very nice dream!! That was me 26 1/2 years ago. Life is too short to not live every second to the fullest!! Good Luck!! p.s. Lots of fun and entertaining places on the Internet to learn Japanese...BTW, are you from The States? I grew up in Honolulu....
@@Minister-ll4diyes Im 19 and live in Los Angeles, I visit Little Tokyo every now and then just to get the semi feel of Japan.
@@LSnium I was born in Los Angeles in 19--. Your age is GOLDEN!! Definitely come and spend a few years. Preferably, when you have a degree in hand. Before that, come on vacation!! It was a one-week vacation, in mid-1998, that sold me....
daddy will be proud
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Haha! They don’t know who taught you in school……..
We love you minister
Thank you so much!! Making lemonade out of lemons...I appreciate your SUPER support!!
