      @@kupillas-1638 No wonder it was clean and nice. The thing with Japanese and Korean is that both R and L are treated as R uniformly, so R and then L after would get blended together as just R. or L, for that matter. chinese mandarin the two are not always mixed, but sometimes, one can be pronounced like the other.
      Which means there's clear bias. What we can tell the Japanese "Katayori arimasu!"

Rules around things like split infinitives, however, are only important if you already subscribe to them, as they are fundamentally arbitrary. I loath the misuse of 'literally' as much as any melodrama-averse person, but some of this stuff depends on whether you value orderliness over efficiency, and there are far more egregious examples of poor communication out there. I mean, the omission of hyphens, even in professional ads, is a current peave of mine, but only because I naturally read them as they should be read, then end up wasting brain power inferring the intended reading, which is genuinely frustrating.

    I lived in Japan for three years. While struggling to learn Japanese, I had an idea to use their primary school textbooks. Upon inspection, I noticed their English textbooks used katakana for phonetic notation. I was shocked at that time and then had a clear understand of why nearly all the Japanese speakers share a distinctive English accent even the high-level ones.

    • @cmakku35
      @cmakku35 Месяц назад +24

      It's because the katakana phonetics they are taught generally follow a British English (which includes a non-rhotic r) pronunciation (I don't know why). However, because they don't have an "uh" sound (short u, /ɜː/), they turn it into an "ah" sound (short o, /ɑ/). Also, their r (sometimes confused with an l) is a slight alveolar tap (/ɾ/), which is close to the more pronounced alveolar tap of double tt/double dd in American English. so their "girl" (gɑɾ) becomes (in American English) G-AH-dd (i.e. "god" in American English"). It would be so much better if they were taught phonics with IPA instead of katakana, which would include teaching them correct tongue position and actually being able to articulate the difference between an R and an L. That's one reason why I don't find using British English pronunciation very helpful for Japanese; its bad enough for them to confuse the two but then to essentially say that one is not even pronounced after vowels (non-rhotic) is even more confusing and it leads to even more difficult to understand speech.

    In japanese pronunciation, Consonants are typically followed by a vowel.
    For instance, in Japanese you would never use the letter "R" on its own. You would say "Ra, Re, Ri, Ro or Ru". Hence its very difficult for native Japanese speakers to pronounce the "rl" in Girl. Because its a sound they would never have had to make speaking their native language.

      Yes, that is a common occurrence when people try to learn Russian.
      What you are probably saying is: "Имеет ли он собаку?" instead of "Есть ли у него собака?". The russian word: "иметь" can usually mean the word "fuck", so you should refrain from using it.
      Otherwise keep up on learning the language, Although I would advise you to stop using google translate for pronunciation checking and translation in general, it's way better to use a dictionary like "Reverso Context" to get both - accurate translations of the word with literature context and their common usage and actual pronunciations of words narrated by russian speakers.
      Hope this helps, good luck.

I think she was struggling to find a balance between American behavior and Japanese behavior. Himeka was taken aback by the first comment which was rude to the Japanese. But she got into the swing of things. She was a guest to the English club. Her protégé Mayya Wada was a regular member. Rina, from AKB48 was like a hired tutor because she speaks English.
